Exactly why it's hard to give a good answer. It *really* depends on what aspect you're interested in - I/O bandwidth, throughput, latency, or other. What I currently do at $DAYJOB is worry how fast I can get a cluster of servers to flip blocks to and from disk to 40Gbit network interfaces, and we've found a combo of iozone's and 'tar xf linux-2.6.32.tar.gz' running at the same time is a good stand-in for our production workload. Of course, your mileage will vary. :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
