Anyone know how to best tune a system for RAID performance?
Keith, what kind of RAID controller is it?

Subject: Re: raid disks in FreeBSD
Thanks. I went ahead and did it. FreeBSD stacks up pretty
well against RedHat 7.3 (using bonnie++ and raw dd) except
for sequential block input where it gets beaten 170MB/s to
70MB/s. I'm using soft updates but haven't tuned the fs
beyond that. Might you have any suggestions on how I could
tweak the filesystem to get better sequential input in
block mode?
Just ignore me if you're busy - I'm really just playing
around here. Even if FreeBSD's numbers are better, I
seriously doubt that I could get the project to switch over
anyway.
Just noticed - did you change your email address from vigrid?
thanks,
Keith
