The system is primarily used for image processing where the image data is uncompressed and a typical file is 12MB. In some cases the files will be hundreds of MB or GB. The typical case is to read a file and output a new file. For some very large files, an uncompressed temporary file is edited in place with random access. I am the author of the application and need the filesystem to be fast enough that it will uncover any slowness in my code. :-) > Perhaps iozone is behaving in a bad way; you might investigate That is always possible. Iozone (http://www.iozone.org/) has been around for a very long time and has seen a lot of improvement by many smart people so it does not seem very suspect. > bonnie++: http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistintel10.html I will check it out.
