Bucky, I don't know why I missed this the first time - you need to let bonnie++ pick the file size - it needs to be 2x memory or the results you get will not be accurate. In this case you've got a 1GB file, which nicely fits in RAM. - Luke On 8/15/06 6:56 AM, "Bucky Jordan" <bjordan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > ... > I see you are running bonnie++ version 1.93c.
