Has anyone done any throughput/benchmarks for the various new patches/code? The block allocator stuff is fresh from the oven and still warm inside. I'll be posting benchmarks for it as the week goes on. Something interesitng: I have 8 dell 2650's (dual xeon 2.8ghz+hyperthreading) and i've setup

The majority of the rest of the machines iowait hover around the 1% mark.. CPU time tends to be about the same, just the iowait is much much higher.. Very interesting. data=ordered makes fsync more expensive, since it ends up syncing more then just the buffers for that one file. Could you please

What i then tried on machine1 was remounting it noatime,nodiratime and what was wierd was that the iowait stayed exactly the same, no indication of dropping at all.. Does the kernel patches change any of the default mount options at all? If i put the stock 2.6.5 kernel back on without the patch

I'm a little slow today. data=ordered is the default with these patches. You need to mount -o data=writeback. data=writeback yields pretty much the same iowait results.. (machine 1+2 are around 5%-8% whereas machine 3-8 are at around 0.8%) This is so much faster I'm worried the io isn't actually
