Hi there,

I have a hardware RAID-5 setup, using 3 Cheetahs 18.9Gb 15000rpm. When i run
Bonnie, this is the output:

bash-2.04$ bonnie
File './Bonnie.248', size: 104857600
Writing with putc()...done
Rewriting...done
Writing intelligently...done
Reading with getc()...done

100.0  239718 96.4 31833.2 199.6
bash-2.04$

This seems really bad to me, on a "normal" system i get measurements maybe 8
higher then this. What could be causing this? No use of DMA? How can i see
whether it's using DMA? And how do i enable it?
The SCSI Caching Raid controller is an Adaptec 2100s. Also, the creation of
the 35Gb Raid array took 4 hours to complete. The server is going to be a
database server.
Could somebody please tell me what's going on?
