Out of curiosity, have you compared bonnie++ results with and without -f (fast)? I've found that it seems to report x2 read throughput without -f. Perhaps it "warms up" the drive with putc() and getc(), allowing the kernel and/or cache to do its job? I haven't found a benchmark that is 100% reliable/comparable. Of course, it all depends how the drive is used in production, which may have little correlation with the benchmarks... Andargor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
