Here are iozone results run on two different machines using different
hard-disks. The key difference is the IDE vs SCSI-2 hard-disk.
I only use iozone 1, just to be consistent and make the test more realistic.
Most applications do not need more than 1 Megabyte of sequential access..
386/25 no cache, Maxtor 7120 200Mbyte Hard-disk runnig 386bsd,patched to
Terry's beta.
Writing the 1 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...3.333333 seconds
Reading the file...2.483333 seconds
IOZONE performance measurements:
314573 bytes/second for writing the file
422245 bytes/second for reading the file
The test completed too quickly to give a good result
You will get a more precise measure of this machine's
performance by re-running IOZONE using the command:
Julian's machine, 486/50, Bustek SCSI-2 1.3G hard-disk(?)
IOZONE performance measurements:
683854 bytes/second for writing the file
499322 bytes/second for reading the file
The test completed too quickly to give a good result
You will get a more precise measure of this machine's
performance by re-running IOZONE using the command:
