I doubt this has any relevance whatsoever, but when I try this on a 2.2.16
kernel running on top of a Pentium Pro 200 w/96megs of mem w/ a SCSI 2
disk, I get some funny numbers:
matt@zeus:~/cwork/personal$ ./elv_test 8 30
files created, 240 megs written at 4.32 megs/sec
finished writing 240 megs written at 1794.23 megs per sec
finished reading, 240 megs read at 1675.813817 megs/sec
Any ideas why I would be getting these numbers?
