Hi all.
Phoronix has run distribution comparison [1]. I´m just wondering why disk transaction performance has Ubuntu 10.04 faster than openSUSE 11.3 RC1, when both distros uses an ext4 file system. Does openSUSE have enabled any barriers again, as was in openSUSE 11.1?

Phoronix benchmarks are BS, I hope you are not taking that thing seriously do you ?
I don't take them as the ultimate truth, but neither as BS.
So let's have a blog post or news story on news.opensuse.org to explain our position! The right thing is not to ignore the benchmarks, but to educate people so we don't look bad with no reason.
Meanwhile, why doesn't any of you comment on it?
Stephan has hinted on functionality and data integrity; perhaps we are using different defaults than others, but knowing what those could be would be nice.
Perhaps it is something as simple as the comparison being run against a beta with debug capabilities enabled :-?
No matter whether you might think the benchmarks are BS or not - I cannot answer that technically - this is one of our problems - perception... So, we need to either publicly demonstrate with repeatable test cases that the benchmarks are indeed problematic or find why we are not getting the same results if indeed it is a valid benchmark. I met Michael at LinuxTag and he is a sensible guy who has no bias against openSUSE. I explained in detail why I openSUSE is my preferred distro with some real world examples of success. He was floored when I mentioned the uptimes of some my client's servers on SL*/openSUSE. - years, not months... We have a great distro, but often we have difficulty to explain to the larger public our technical excellence ;) Just my 0.02 $currency Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
