How long is a normal **ioping -RD ./ **supposed to take?
Comments
It depends on the drive, raid card if any, load, connection (local or SAN) etc.
Do you have any specific performance issue with this server?
IOps seem low, but the latency looks 'ok'
Activities which need to read from the disk are very slow. dd commands are not stellar but I have seen worse.
It is a VPS and it has been usable until the last 24 hours or so.
Just ran a quick comparison
Looks fairly consistent with LE* VPS with local storage and SATA drives. Bear in mind this drives aren't dedicated to you, they are shared with other, some times with a lot of, customers.
and the same VM
