Very slow write speeds on nvme rockpi4C on kernel 5.10.21

@Salvador Liébana I would be very cautious about comparing with results that I don't know how they were obtained. In fact I would avoid it ;-)

We cannot say much about Radxa's benchmarking looking at the presented graph.

 

Nonetheless below you will find the iozone run I performed with LK 5.10.20:

piter@rockpi-4c:~$ uname -a
Linux rockpi-4c 5.10.20-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 5 10:47:39 CET 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

It was performed using iozone (429) on EXT4 with ROCK Pi 4C and Corsair Force MP510B 480GB (yes, the model with degraded flash chips):

Spoiler

piter@rockpi-4c:~$ iozone -e -I -a -s 1G -r 4k -r 512k -r 16M -i 0 -i 1 -i 2

iozone test complete.

 

 

As you can see it reaches 1GB+/s speeds both writing and reading with large enough block size, hovers around 1GB/s with medium block size and dives to 50-200MB/s with small blocks.

 

pcie-gen2 overlay is not needed with ROCK Pi 4C as unsupported gen2 link speed was mainlined for all ROCK Pi 4 boards.

 

BTW. Is the guy Jeff Geerling (https://github.com/geerlingguy)?

If so then I am actually using the way he was using to compare different SD cards' performance with Raspberry Pi ;-)
