I'm quite sure that someone out there has a similar setup and has done it already - tuned his/her fs to achieve better results - so why should I reinvent the wheel? The benchmark iozone gives following results: (Machine: 386/40 with 8M RAM, Adaptec AHA 1542C SCSI and Seagate ST41200N 5.25" FH disk) 5MB file: IOZONE performance measurements: 406424 bytes/second for writing the file 1024667 bytes/second for reading the file 10MB file: IOZONE performance measurements: 403557 bytes/second for writing the file 954697 bytes/second for reading the file Ok, it is not that bad I got earlier (~250k/s write, 600k read) but it is still not good enough - under DOS (ick!) I got over 1M/s constantly.
