Has the Reiser4 team looked at utilizing the OSDL Scalable Test Platform
(STP) service to benchmark and test Reiser4 patches? They seem to offer
a wide variety of hardware to test on, and already have some file system
benchmarks available to choose from.
I noticed the Namesys benchmark page hasn't been updated in quite some
time, understandably so, as benchmarking can be incredibly time
consuming. Perhaps using the STP would make this much easier to do more
frequently?
It would be really nice to see how the batch_write/read(?) patches to
the kernel affect things, and how Reiser4 performance progresses over
time. I know Hans has mentioned CPU usage dropping in recent patches,
but actual numbers from a benchmark are usually more compelling to see.
the dev team has seen a number of benchmarks which Hans' statements
are based on... maybe we should post some of them publicly?
