Benchmark using bonnie-1.2 (http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/bonnie/)


Hardware: Duron 700 mhz, Ram 128 MB, ATA66 IDE drive 20 GB
	  The test partition is /dev/hda10, 3.6 GG, mounted on /testfs

Software: Slackware 8.0, kernel is stock 2.4.14 + patch ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414 
          e2fsprogs 1.25, mkreiserfs 3.x.0j
          ext3 bultin and reiserfs-3.6 (only for 2.4.14) in module

        
Configuration: hdparm -d1 -c1 -m8 -u1 /dev/hda
               reisersfs:     mkreiserfs	 mount -t reiserfs
               reisersfs/nt:  mkreiserfs	 mount -t reiserfs -o notail 
               ext2:	      mke2fs		 mount 
               ext3/od  :     mke2fs -j		 mount 
	       ext3/wb  :     mke2fs -j	 	 mount -o data=writeback
	       journal size is 32 MB for both ext3 and reiserfs


During the bench, nothing else is running except syslogd, klogd, inetd, atd
and the kernel :).


Command: Bonnie -s 512 -d /testfs
