SAGE members are trying to convince me that my testing of RAHU’s Xserve RAID should become a LISA paper.
And so I’m doing more testing. The stable version of Bonnie++ hits a nasty NFS bug when run from PAX, but there’s apparently an experimental version that doesn’t hit that bug. (Not sure that it’s a bug in NFS, though – it’s triggered when the directory changes while Bonnie’s reading it, and that might be in Bonnie’s threads or process spawning stuff.) I’ll have to re-run with this version on RAHU, to get it’s numbers (and I should do a number of runs with various options on both platforms, anyhow).
