Re: dbench regression in 2.6

[Steven Pratt <slpratt@austin.ibm.com>]

Ok, first let me start with appologies as this turns out to be a wild 
goose chase.  It seems that I am running the version of reiserfsprogs 
that ships with SLES 8.0 (3.6.2) which has a hardcoded check for kernel 
versions 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5, but does not know about 2.6 and thus the 
mkfs.resiserfs is failing.  Since all of this testing is automated this 
failure was not caught, and the dbench numbers reported were actually 
for the last filesystem run on that drive, in this case XFS (which is 
why it looks so bad :-) ).  I have fixed the scripts to force the format 
to 3.6 and all seems to be well.  If I get the chance I will go backfill 
all of the numbers.  Sorry for the confusion but I run these regresion 
tests in my spare time and don't always have time to crawl through the 
output, although a simple look in the captured /proc/mounts, or even the 
fstype file I create in the benchmark directory would have saved us all 
a lot of time. 

Again, sorry for the confusion, keep up the good work.
