I have a P3-500 box /384 MB ram and 2 scsi disks (sda and sdb). OS is on sda and test partions is on sdb aic7xxx driver Using anticipatory schedulor with a tag_depth of 4 (this is set via modules.conf) options aic7xxx aic7xxx=global_tag_depth:4
/dev/sdb1 is created with ext3 and htree is enabled. Mounted as /htree
synctest obtained from here (synctest tries to simulate an MTA behaviour)
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz
I run the following commands on both 2.6.9 and 2.6.10-rc2
/usr/bin/time -p ./synctest -fu -t 100 -p1 -n1 /htree/nfsexport
timing results
2.6.9
real 57.35 user 1.37 sys 14.26
2.6.10-rc2
real 86.83 user 1.32 sys 14.02
Mounting with noreservation gives the following numbers
real 58.77 user 1.46 sys 14.48
