Column one measures the time taken to complete the bonnie++ benchmarking test (run with the parameters bonnie++ -n128:128k:0) Column two, Disk Usage: measures the amount of disk used to store 655MB of raw data (which was 3 different copies of the Linux kernel sources). Anyway, I have patched the 2.6.20 kernel and have a partition formatted with Reiser4. However, I am having trouble getting LILO or GRUB working (with Reiser4). Could you guys who know all about this, help me, or point me to some help. Thanks a lot, John.
