>From the K12LTSP list... an interesting post about 3ware RAID cards (my personal favorite)...

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Just a fyi, If anyone is running a 3ware raid card, check out the 3ware knowledgebase for Q10036, which is Performance/Optimization: How can 3ware read performance be increased in Linux? It's worth the read, especially after my file/print/home directory server took 10 hours last night to rsync 60GB from one partition on a RAID5 IDE array to another partition on the same array. I just made the first recommended change for max and min readahead to my 3ware 7500-8 card and saw noticeable results in memory, load, and irq changes with the webminstats package, already. And the system "feels" more responsive. 3ware Knowledgebase http://www.3ware.com/KB/kb.asp Webmin http://www.webmin.com/ Webminstats http://webminstats.sourceforge.net/ -- Eric Feldhusen Network Administrator for Adams, Chassell, Dollar Bay, and Lake Linden Public Schools email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
