Performance is good so far. Much better than vmware. Very rough IO test below, just using dd to create a 1Gb file and then running dbench afterwards. Hardware memory is 768Mb 2100 ECC ram, where 200Mb is allocated to colinux which is running as a service. CPU is an AthlonXP 1700+ (Palomino core). Windows version is XP professional with cacheman 5.5.0.30. FS is NTFS default 4Kb cluster size. cobd0 and cobd2 are colinux block device which is just a file from windows perspective. these two files are on the secondary master EIDE on the motherboard. Harddrive is a WD 15.2Gb using an EIDE 33ATA cable. Not the 66/100/133 ATA thinner cables. I'm using the latest colinux development snapshot, using Linux kernel 2.6.8.1. Please don't take this as a benchmark, since there are services actively running on windows(socks proxy, NT squid, Bind DNS, etc.) and colinux (mysql, apache, ssh etc.) plus the kids using firefox once in a while! :) ============================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/testing# uname -a Linux debiancl 2.6.8.1-co-0.6.2-pre6 #58 Sun Oct 24 21:48:46 IST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/testing# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 6 model name : AMD Athlon(TM) XP1700+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 0.000 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 838.86 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/testing# df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/cobd0 1622696 978472 561792 64% / tmpfs 99808 0 99808 0% /dev/shm /dev/cobd2 1622696 32828 1507436 3% /testing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/testing# sync ; sync ; time dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1k count=1048576 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out 1073741824 bytes transferred in 37.721307 seconds (28465128 bytes/sec) real 0m37.724s user 0m6.620s sys 0m8.160s [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/testing# dbench 5 -s -S 5 clients started 0 62477 9.08 MB/sec Throughput 9.07872 MB/sec (sync open) (sync dirs) 5 procs =============================================== regards, Andre -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.q-linux.com (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
