Here are some results from Bonnie with kernels 1.3.77 and 1.3.78. The results are medium values from three tests. Sequential input per block has increased a little bit, as it perhaps should with Linus' new code in ll_rw_block.c, but what happened to sequential input per char? Shouldn't CPU utilization be closer to 100%. I also tried to change the read_ahead value, but no visible difference could be found. Another question: Why is the random seeks results better with 1.3.78 ??

My system is a 100Mhz Pentium with 16MB RAM, NCR810 and a Seagate ST31230N (1 GB Hawk 2LP). The filesystem had only 100 MB free, hence the small filesize. Now is the time to buy another drive and stripe them!
