scsi vs ide performance on fsync's

2001-03-02 Thread Jeremy Hansen
We're doing some mysql benchmarking. For some reason it seems that ide drives are currently beating a scsi raid array and it seems to be related to fsync's. Bonnie stats show the scsi array to blow away ide as expected, but mysql tests still have the idea beating on plain insert speeds. Can an

So in the meantime as this gets worked out on a lower level, we've decided to take the fsync() out of berkeley db for mysql transaction logs and mount the filesystem -o sync. Can anyone perhaps tell me why this may be a bad idea? Thanks -jeremy On Tue, 6 Mar 2001, Jeremy Hansen

hotmail not dealing with ECN

2001-01-24 Thread Jeremy Hansen
Just curious if others have noticed that hotmail is unable to deal with ECN and wondering if this is a standard that should be encouraged, as in should I tell hotmail that perhaps they should look into supporting it, or should I not waste my breath and echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn? thanks
