---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Inconsistency in bonnie++ results for repeated runs Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2004 04:53 From: Judith Lebzelter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello; I found that my bonnie++ results are varying more than I would have thought that they should, on this run for example: http://khack.osdl.org/stp/286377/logs/run-log.txt Sequential Input for the third set of runs for both the Per Chr and Block measurements dropped off too much: Version @version@ ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random- -Per Chr- --Block-- -Rewrite- -Per Chr- --Block-- --Seeks-- Machine Size K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP /sec %CP stp1-000 1G 11676 99 39927 22 16889 8 10566 89 38059 12 201.2 0 stp1-000 1G 11673 99 39130 23 16927 11 10564 89 38071 11 180.2 0 stp1-000 1G 11214 96 31424 17 4086 2 7721 65 14441 5 137.2 0 Rewrites dropped as well. Is there something I have not configured right or an option I am missing? For most of our runs the three repeated data points do have a reasonable deviation, but occasionally, one of the runs seems too far off the other two. This is the command being run for the above results: /usr/bin/time bonnie++ -x 3 -u 0 -n1 On a 1CPU Host and on a single IDE disk/500M RAM, but I have found similar issues on the 2CPU hosts. We are using Bonnie++ Version: 1.02. Is there a mailing list that would be more appropriate than direct mail? If so please forward it.
