I doubt this has any relevance whatsoever, but when I try this on a 2.2.16
kernel running on top of a Pentium Pro 200 w/96megs of mem w/ a SCSI 2
disk, I get some funny numbers:

matt@zeus:~/cwork/personal$ ./elv_test 8 30
files created, 240 megs written at 4.32 megs/sec
finished writing 240 megs written at 1794.23 megs per sec
finished reading, 240 megs read at 1675.813817 megs/sec

Any ideas why I would be getting these numbers?

That will teach me to play fast and loose with checking error returns from system calls. I wasnt specifying a mode when creating the files.
So they were being created without user write permission..
I dont know why it worked under 2.4.0. Maybe a kernel bug :-).

Anyway, a new version is available now at http://tltsu.anu.edu.au/~robert/elv_test.c
