Keep in mind that the above test tests two subsystems at the same
time: RAID-1 + the filesystem on top of it. If you want to test RAID-1
performance you should specify a raw device to of=... instead of a
file (and the direct I/O flags). There are considerable performance
differences between filesystems for large files. E.g. XFS is a lot
faster than ext3 for large files (gigabytes).
