Getting WHT Benchmark to run on VE [message #6969]

I'm looking to get the WHT Unixbench varient benchmark to run within a VE.

The benchmark is available here:
http://members.dslextreme.com/users/andylee/unixbench-4.1.0- wht.tar.gz

tar -zxvf
make
./Run
to get it going

I'm running it within a FC5 VE on the latest development openvz kernel (2.6.16-026test018).

I can get the benchmark to run succesfully on the HN, but not within the VE. Within the VE I simply get a zero set of results...

Anyone else feel like trying out this benchmark within their VE? This is a common benchmark to use for VPS's...

Hello, I've just tried this benchmark at my node in VE:

[HN]# uname -r
2.6.16-026test018.1
[HN]# vzctl enter 92
entered into VPS 92
[VE]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)
[VE]# cd /tmp/unixbench-4.1.0-wht/
[VE]# ./Run

So, it works for me. I suppose some specific configuration of your VE breaks test.
