Hi Glenn, Have already fixed that problem? Your tests were on the same hardware? I´ve tested two of my boxes one with, FBSD 4.9 and another with the latest cvs 5.4. They´re not the same hardware but the performance with md drive was MUCH faster with 5.4.
TEsted with 'dd': 4.9: dd if=/dev/zero of=TESTE count=1000 bs=64k 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 65536000 bytes transferred in 1.005721 secs (65163195 bytes/sec) 5.4: dd if=/dev/zero of=TESTE count=1000 bs=64k 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 65536000 bytes transferred in 0.241217 secs (271688824 bytes/sec) - Marcelo Souza On Sat, 4 Jun 2005, Glenn Dawson wrote: | | | |I have a number of systems running 4.11 that have file backed virtual |disks, each of which contains a jail.
