Re: (A MUST READ!!!!!) The Ultimately Fastest Ubuntu Desktop/Server You Can Have!
OK, I re-ran all tests on all partitions 5 times on init 1. I couldn't test hda2 because it kept giving me errors about being too small.
Also just realized that the drive tests should have been done on the drives hda and hdb and not on the partitions, but anyway. I suppose if you average the separate partition tests it will work out as an overall average for the drives.
Testing on init 1 smoothed out the huge variations test-to-test I was getting. The results test-to-test were very, very even, usually varying by +/- 1 MB/sec for cached tests and +/- 0.5 MB/sec for buffered tests.
hda1, drive tests:
Average, cached = 204.55 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 46.39 MB/sec
hda5, drive tests:
Average, cached = 205.54 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 26.75 MB/sec
hdb1, drive tests:
Average, cached = 205.70 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 63.02 MB/sec
hdb2, drive tests:
Average, cached = 205.86 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 62.47 MB/sec
hda1, partition tests:
Average, cached = 204.67 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 46.39 MB/sec
hda5, partition tests:
Average, cached = 205.89 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 26.76 MB/sec
hdb1, partition tests:
Average, cached = 205.82 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 62.83 MB/sec
hdb2, partition tests:
Average, cached = 205.70 MB/sec
Average, buffered = 62.78 MB/sec
As expected, my hdb is much faster than my hda, but I didn't think it would be that much faster.

Tried XFS on my laptop, which is where I would like the most improvement in OS speed, but nothing to write home about happened. I will try it on my home desktop sometime this week.:guitar:

thats because hda2 is the begining of the extended partitions. it has no size.
about the test, they are meant to test both drives and partitions. thats why I provided to set of tests.And the reason of this topic: FS speed.
