Thanks Lajber. Sorry for taking so long to reply but it's been a busy week. Your test benchmarks look interesting. Do they take into consideration the random seeks that Molle mentioned in his email? As Molle mentioned: "I've seen lots of MD tests, but none that covered profiling MD's random access performance". Does this cover MD's random access performance? Also, have you thought of using iometer (http://www.iometer.org) and comparing it's results with bonnie++'s results? Just a thought...
