No -- bonnie doesn't need 1G ram -- bonnie needs to test using a file
much larger than available ram to ensure that bonnie actually writes
something to disk and not just to the VFS/buffercache layer.

Hi,
What does 2*RAM mean?
His box has 512M RAM, so he need 2*512M
Chris,
It 'feels' faster on my NFS bonnie benchmarks. I still see some
degradataion in speed on larger files -- but I think that is a different
'feature' of the filesystem.
512M RAM 2.4.11pre1 NFSV3 server lightly loaded
ReiserFS version 3.6.25 (v2 format filesys)
100M network -- solaris 8
Thanks.
