Re: Dell PowerEdge 2950 performance

I see you are running bonnie++ version 1.93c. The numbers it reports are
very different from version 1.03a, which is the one everyone runs - can
you
post your 1.03a numbers from bonnie++?
...

Luke,

Thanks for the pointer. Here's the 1.03 numbers, but at the moment I'm
only able to run them on the 6 disk RAID 5 setup (128k stripe, writeback
enabled since the Perc5 does have a battery backed cache).
