[Bug 875733] Re: disk cache is slow on average with dm-crypt

 

There is no "Tag" option in the UI for me so someone else will have to
do that.

Title:
  disk cache is slow on average with dm-crypt

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I would expect the cached read speeds to be the same as the cache is above the encryption  device mapper layer.
  Using dm-crypt read speeds are inconsistent averaging 380 MB/s, not using  dm-crypt read speeds are consistently 1200 MB/s.
  I used dd to test at least 12 times:
  dd if=./test.file of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024
