hi ya
- i just did a random tst for 24hrs
- for those looking to "tweek" the maximum performace out of the disks
- all systems are indentical - asus a7m266-vm motherboard
- 4 of the systems are amd xp-1700, one each of xp-1800 and xp-1900
- all systems are 512MB DDR except first one
- all tests were done simulataneously.. one machine next to the other
test was:
cd /tmp/Test ; rm -rf linux-2.4.19
cd /usr/src ; tar cf - linux-2.4.19/* | \
( cd /tmp/Test ; tar xvfp - )
make ; make dep ; make bzImage
print number of passes
3 surprises...
- use ata-133 disks
- add more memory :-)
- set -u1 and -c3 on the hard disks :-)
if the differences of 5 or 10 kernel compiles doesnt make a difference,
than its not an issue... but it "takes a while" to go thru 10 passes
of kernel compiles ( say about 30min - an hour )
- yes... but its $10 or $20 more to just buy an XP-1800
have fun
alvin
first number is the number of kernel compiles (over the 24hr period )
2nd system was slightly modified, making it perform like an xp-1800
system:-)
hdparm -tT /dev/hda to get default MB/sec transfers
hdparm -c3 -u1 -d 1 /dev/hda1
