Since I was unable to send mail directly to terryk, I must post. Sorry. Terry, thanks for your benchmark info. You are looking for a standard diskio behchmark, but the only one that comes close, it seems is the AIM. I think Sun uses this and the U. Toronto BM. I may be able to give you the source for mine. Does page alligned and non-page aligned reads and writes both single and multi tasking emulations. The AIM benchmark is kind-of a standard, but as my posting said, this gives variable (like in a lot) results. Ours does multiple block sizes, too, to look at FS implications. Send me some mail or give me a call at (415)962-3471 if you are interested in pursuing this further. Did you say you had a SCSI sabre???? ^^^^ markb Mark Bradley "Faster, faster, until the thrill of Manager I/O Subsystems speed overcomes the fear of death."
