A quick additional note, the drives on the client seem to be pretty fast, even compared to the raid0 array... user@BPC-client ~/ [0]# hdparm -tT /dev/sd[ab] /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 10832 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5416.82 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 208 MB in 3.02 seconds = 68.77 MB/sec /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 11108 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5554.84 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 254 MB in 3.00 seconds = 84.54 MB/sec -- /Sorin
