(and please don't say "dbench" :^) 32k is not possible in the kernel. Could use 64k. Two of the re-aim-7 (aka osdl-aim-7) results (4k and 16k) are posted on lkml and I can resend if I get a private request. I'm going to be in transit or offline alot of the next 2 weeks. Not likely I'll be able to generate the additional numbers. Other volunteers? I'm happy to share the s3kr3T osdl-aim-7 sauce recipe. And I'd really just like to prove if VMERGE code in the BIO layer is useful or not. I've concluded it's not useful for 53c1030. I think it's more interesting to measure 53c1010. > Was any patches necessary for the ia64 kernel before the block sizes > > 8k started working for you? nope. :^) Just twiddle the CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_* parameters if one wants 64KB. 16KB is the default. thanks, grant - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Jul 30 14:52:36 2003
