/ is ext3 over /dev/md/0 (raid1)
swap is /dev/loop/0 with blowfish over /dev/md/1 (raid0)
/home is ext3 over /dev/loop/1 with blowfish over /dev/md/2 (raid1)
256 ram. duron, hpt370,
raw IDE speed 40MB/s,
raw raid1 speed 37MB/s, raid0 speed near 80.
raw crypto speed 20MB/s (cpu full)
stress test is
1. a.out swap stress seeking 512M memory, while (1) for (i =0; i < 256M ;
i+=256) intarray[i]=i, taking 1-3% processor, all io
2. dd on /home of 512MB chunks , write,read, taking sometimes all
processor all IO, if swap takes io, dd is low
3. while true; do ls /home; done ; takes all the rest of IO.
4. ping flood outside computer
any following ls anywhere does not block.
sync blocks. It is somewhat weird as one ls is blocking.
process states after several killall -9 a.out dd ls
