(facepalm) Thanks for setting me right. Anyway, I did a test with the 2.6.18-93.el5.bz444759 kernel and there's no difference: 65 minutes, 27 MB/s. Looks like it doesn't matter which kernel I use, at least for this simple test with dd. I wonder if a test closer to real life, such as reading/writing stuff from/to MySQL, would produce different results. I guess there's only one way to find out. ;-) > I'd be interested in a way of telling from within the OS whether or not > MWI is enabled... That would be nice. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
