Re: fc3 and stacks

[Robin Humble <rjh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hammered a standard fc3 kernel (4k stacks) and couldn't break it.

I ran 4 simultaneous bonnie++'s locally, and 8 more over NFS using two
gigabit ethernet links. No software raid, no lvm, no quotas, default
mount options, etc. just XFS on a 2.3TB partition of a 3ware 9000
SATA hardware raid5. Machine was a dual 2.66GHz Xeon with 2G of ram.
kernel was kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.770_FC3, userland was RHEL AS4.

I filled up the disk several times with dd's and bonnie's and saw no
signs of problems there either.

So that's one extra data point for a relatively simple config that says
XFS and 4k stacks is pretty stable.

cheers,
