Value of the test itself withstanding, AS seems to be a lot faster for sequential output for some reason, yet slower for everything else. Which is odd, deadline should always be running at the same speed for writeout as AS. The only real difference should be sequential and random reads. So allow me to call your results questionable. It also looks like bonnie (some version) output, I never found bonnie to provide good and repeatable numbers. tiotest is much better, or (of course) fio. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
