Has anybody looked at RAID-5 vinum performance on the "whole system"?

2000-06-13 Thread Jaye Mathisen
I was just curious what people's thoughts were on the potential "total system throughput" (whatever you choose it to be), wrt using software RAID. It would seem that software RAID would just kill big chunks of cache, especially CPU cache, moving lots of data throught it to calcuate CRC's. per

I have a drive that is rated at ~16 Meg/second, and indeed it delivers on the order of 15+ Meg/second. If I use Vinum to create a concatinated device of 2 such units performance drops to 2.5 Meg/sec. This seems like a drastic drop in performance. Any ideas what I am doin incorrectly? -- David
