Note also that several RAID controllers will periodically drop the write-back mode during battery capacity tests. If you care about consistently/deterministically having full performance (with white-backed battery protected caching), you probably want to confirm your controller behavior here. (I've seen this on at least LSI based controllers in Dell 2950:s, and also on some 3wares.) -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org
