Hi Nathan
Thank you for responding.
Log version:
-------------
We changing from v1 to v2 with the same parameters did not change
the throughput.
Size of the Log:
----------------
I changed the size of the log from 64k to 256k for version 2 and
did not see a difference in performance. I beleive version 1 logs
support only 32k max internal logs. Is that correct ?
sunit values for logs/data:
---------------------------
I have not tried to tune these values yet. We set it to 64k
because our RAID chunk size was 64k. I will change the values
and see whethet performance changes significatly
Thanks
Ravi
