Thanks for giving us a system like FreeBSD. It keeps on > amazing me. That is an amazing write speed!! How much memory is in this machine??? As a note to folks it really helps if you run one really long iozone job to find out about sustained transfer rate and to eliminate almost all of the buffer cache effects: (The 16MB limit on iozone auto is not high enough for 16MB machines, since the buffer cache can now get quite large). This is on a 16MB machine, P54C-90, NCR810 controller iozone 2.01: The buffer cache become ineffective at 8MB transfer size, but still skewed the numbers some (~200K/sec). 16 512 2681003 2725233 16 1024 2732167 2674325 16 2048 2721779 2704639 16 4096 2725233 2721779 16 8192 2739137 2749658 iozone 128 8192: IOZONE writes a 128 Megabyte sequential file consisting of 16384 records which are each 8192 bytes in length. It then reads the file. It prints the bytes-per-second rate at which the computer can read and write files.
