I am seeing 85MB/s as a speed of a single Hitachi 1TB HD.
How high can you go by mirroring or striping 2, 3, 4 harddrives?
mirroring - the same, just with 2 processes reading both can get the
bandwidth. make sure you use -s high enough (like 1048576) doing gmirror
label
stripping - the same, or 2,3,4 times, depends how you configure.
for highest transfer and lowest concurrency (you mostly read huge files
with one process) - use small stripe size.
for lowest transfer (=1 disk) and highest concurency - use very huge
stripe size like 512MB, so simply different process reading different
things can hit different drives, but each I/O isn't spread.
