I don't quite understand the question. It's the very same box, with
a dualboot configuration.
Fire up the 3ware controller's RAID management software and make sure the same
write caching strategy is set for FreeBSD and Linux. The
driver my default to different values.
i.e. under "controller settings" make sure "write cache" and "queuing" are the
same values for linux and freebsd.
Let's get back to this on monday. I'm at home now, and the
box is at me workplace, still running a test (i can't reboot it).
Also, can you verify with a read-only test to see where it's at? I have not tested writes with that many threads. I notice mysql goes much faster
with a fresh table too. So can you blow away and recreate the sysbench tables and then do read-only? If that is much slower we'll know there is some
configuration problem or similar.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation. I have a couple of
comments about this:
* You are using some very old mysql versions and trying to compare
between diferent versions. New minor releases in the 5.0 series had
very different performance, and you really need to be using at least
5.0.45 (I didn't notice a performance change between 5.0.45 and 5.0.51
but there was a big improvement in every release up to .45. In
addition, versions older than (I think) .37 have serious performance bugs).
I appreciate that you might be constrained by local requirements, but
it's really not meaningful to compare different mysql versions if your
goal is to study OS performance.
* What database engine are you using? I have only tested with innodb
but maybe you are using myisam? Please provide your exact sysbench
command lines.
* Compare to my config file here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/scaling/my.cnf
The default mysql config has very poor performance for innodb (you need
at least innodb_thread_concurrency = 0 to disable some mysql
brain-death). Maybe tuning is required for myisam also.
* Also make sure you are using identical config settings on the two systems.
* With the above, please compare read-only mode also (I think Jeff
already asked you about this but I didnt see a reply). That will allow
us to calibrate what is going on.
Kris
