I should explain that this machine is being accessed by approximately 10-20 users writing and reading to the same large array (pic here: http://dataw0lf.phonese.cx/comments.php?607). Most of these users are running instances of Boeing's Softplotter photogrammetry application off the same machine's X server, and the files they are accessing can range from 1 to 100 raw TIFF images of 1 to 2 gigs. So the time is actually quite phenomenal. AdvFS is quite a powerful filesystem. Here's the load average on the machine, before I ran the test: bash-2.04# uptime 11:24 up 332 days, 1:53, 12 users, load average: 2.88, 2.93, 3.04 -- Joshua Simpson -- dataw0lf.org Lead Network Administrator/Engineer Aero-Graphics Inc.
