It was done on ext2 _and_ against raw devices. Same dendency on both setups. Further on I doubt the test is very depended on fsync. It should be swap io limited since it runs with a way too small memory configuration. If you have enough memory the test is not very IO intensive either despite the fact that a big database is running. To bring the database really into IO you have to add application servers. (Fujitsu Siemens took 160 4way Linux servers to saturate a database server running Solaris on 64way FSC Primepower.) BTW since we are just bashing VMs: I always hear that 2.2 is so much better: The first 2.2 kernel which could really survive this test was 2.2.19!
