hi. i was curious what would cause bonnie to report +++++ in a field after running a test:
mail:/blah# bonnie++ -d . Writing with putc()...done Rewriting...done Writing intelligently...done Reading with getc()...done Reading intelligently...done start 'em...done...done...done... Create files in sequential order...done. Stat files in sequential order...done. Delete files in sequential order...done. Create files in random order...done. Stat files in random order...done. Delete files in random order...done.

I do not get the ++++ in any fields on another system which is dual p3-800 256MB ram with dual 10k rpm ultra160 drives in raid1(it tells me 195953 in that field). hope this is fast for a medium mail server :)) any ideas? thanks. nate
