I've seen people with the same configuration doing 160MB/s writes and 250MB/s+ reads with raid5 so I still think something isn't right. And using raid10 with 4 disks is a rather large waste of capacity. -zsozso On 2010.06.18. 1:55, Chuck Swiger wrote: On Jun 17, 2010, at 4:50 PM, oizs wrote

1.3MB/s with write-back and 150MB/s reads with 5 disks in raid0. I just wanted to have a hw raid with no problems since the motherboard 88sx7042 and bsd did not like eachother. On 2010.06.19. 11:07, Svein Skogen (Listmail Account) wrote: On 18.06.2010 01:50, oizs wrote: Hi, I've

Could you tell me exactly how did you configure your raid? I mean wb/read-ahead/blocksize/stripe etc. Much appreciated. -zsozso On 2010.06.19. 14:26, Svein Skogen (Listmail Account) wrote: On 19.06.2010 11:58, oizs wrote: I tried almost everything raid 0 1 5 10 with all kind of stripes
