Sweet! I didn't even bother to try Reiser because the version of mkreiserfs that I have won't let me adjust the block size, so I gave up since the manual preaches about 2048B blocksize. I just reformatted my disk with reiser and I'm running bonnie on it to compare it to ext2. ReiserFS: -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random-- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks--- Machine MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU 100 6205 96.5 43356 93.6 453 1.1 877 12.5 28765 18.3 17443.3 95.9 100 1744 26.7 47848 96.3 609 1.3 6820 96.2 91798 89.6 61.3 0.3 100 6256 96.4 48244 95.6 432 0.8 6866 96.1 114530 94.0 72.2 0.4 100 6114 95.5 47270 94.6 437 0.9 6861 96.3 117158 92.7 72.7 0.4 ext2: -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random-- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks--- Machine MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU 100 6272 92.6 88213 91.3 47749 92.8 6820 96.2 154711 92.2 119.1 0.7 100 6597 96.3 91556 94.8 50079 95.9 6854 96.5 160844 97.4 182.5 1.0 100 6484 95.2 93161 96.4 49358 93.0 6872 96.5 154766 92.2 149.8 0.9 100 6598 96.5 93746 95.2 51057 96.2 6798 96.0 156069 94.5 124.9 0.7 Looks like ext2 whooped Reiser. I didn't add any special options to reiser. I wonder if the reiserfs was 2048 byte blocks like the ext2 one if it would make a difference.
