First, I deleted the "ide0=ata66" from lilo.conf and second I ran bonnie a lot more times. I found that after the deletion I occasionally (say one time in three or four), saw block reads a little over 30000 KB/sec. I then tried running bonnie from "/" rather than from a subdirectory. The result is block reads of better than 30000 KB/sec every time - the record is 37558. Maybe I should have knowm to run it from root. Keep in mind that drives have different transfer rates depending on where on the drive you read from. mike dresser - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
