Hi,
Some more numbers to consider:
7.3 MB/s 54.7s user 159.6s system 25% cpu elaspsed 14:21.9m
reiserfs on hda whick gets 16.1 MB/s from hdparm -t
9.7 MB/s 51.6s user 78.3s system 19% cpu elaspsed 10:50.8m
ext2 on hdb which gets 10.6 MB/s from hdparm -t
both drives are udma33. The sytem is a K6-III 400 with 128m running:
2.4.0test13pre6 + reil #2 + drm fix + reiserfs 3.6.23
Think ext2 is doing pretty good. I have seen comments that imply dbench
does not show reiserfs at its best - they favor the bonnie suite.
Luck
