The basic consensus of the discussion here was not the
test itself but the analysis was somewhat flakey. The
performance was generally reviewed purely with the
stopwatch, so seeing where the bottlenecks were (on
raw or any of the filesystems tested) was not really
assessed or reported.
But having said that, it did have some merit for "out
of the box" testing - ie if you just bang Oracle on a
box and pray, then the benchmark probably applies
