hdparm -t /dev/sda is one meausre, although not all that accurate. tiobench is another measuring tool, along with bonnie++. For some of these tests (multiple tests within each package) the newer kernel was faster, but for many of them, the older kernel was faster. For example, hdparm -t on the new kernel gave me 40MB/s on a 3disk raid5 array, while on the older kernel I got 150MB/s from hdparm -t. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
