The mail server workload is also one where the benchmark results tend to be more variable, and so Eric has mentioned in the past that he's had to run the benchmark several times to make sure he's getting good, stable, numbers. The nubmers are useful for seeing whether we've accidentally regressed on scalability, but at least for previous results from Eric's scalability testing, what I've found most interesting thing to look at are the lockstat reports. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
