Hello,

How can we find the read/write capacity of a particular filesystem ?

Hi,

How can we change the performance parameters like the transfer rate of a filesystem ?

Nikhil,
as you can not change the physical characteristics of the disk (Revolutions/Minute, buffering etc.) you are left with:

Reduce traffic by example re-organising database layout across multiple disks

Optimise block sizing between OS and disk and(possible) database

Buffer data to memory

I am sure other forum members will have further ideas.
