8.4 because it's what I've got, basically. I might be able to try 9.2 later, but I'm targeting 8.4 right now. 512MB of memory on the card. >> (NOTE: with barriers off, I get a slight increase - 10% - in the >> read-write test, and a larger *decrease* - 15% - with the read-only >> test @ 400.

I know that if I use writethrough instead of writeback mode the performance nosedives. Does anybody have suggestions for stripe size?
