Just to clarify things a bit, the tests were done like this: newfs -U /dev/da0 or newfs_hammer -L RAID_VOLUME /dev/da0 mount /dev/da0 on /mnt mkdir /mnt/blogbench blogbench -d /mnt/blogbench The results were taken for one run only, they were not averaged. Howewer, I repeated many times the tests for the RAID10 and RAID0 cases, and the numbers were always consistent (7% variation at worst). No fancy disk scheduler was used. Besides newfs, defaults were used for all commands. -- Francois Tigeot
