Folks,

I built a Raid 0 and then Raid 5 with 8 80GB Maxtor 
disks with 2 Promise100 cards (using all channels master 
& slave).   The bonnie for the Raid 5 is:

              -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
              -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks---
Machine    MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU  /sec %CPU
          500  7187 74.2  7682  3.2  6130  4.7  7283 76.5 33824 15.9 325.9  1.1

chunk=128K make with 4KB blocks and stride=32.


The bonnie for Raid 0 is:

          500  8672 93.3 53745 27.0 25289 20.1  9367 99.1 84056 48.6 415.4  2.6

Is this performance difference expected or did I make an mistake
somewhere?

Thanks,

Martin
