These 2 are from running it on each on the ide drives without vinum.

[root@gorbag /mnt1]# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=16384k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
16777216000 bytes transferred in 799.865832 secs (20975038 bytes/sec)
[root@gorbag /mnt2]# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=16384k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
16777216000 bytes transferred in 796.395885 secs (21066427 bytes/sec)
[root@gorbag /mnt2]#

This is from running it on both drives striped with vinum.

[root@gorbag /backup]# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=16384k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
16777216000 bytes transferred in 1365.405607 secs (12287350 bytes/sec)
[root@gorbag /backup]#

seems to be quite abit slower..
now i was running systat -vm 1 while writing to the striped vinum drive
and did see both of them getting hit equally. IN this case prob at around
99% IO on both of them half the time.

[root@gorbag dphoenix]# cat /etc/vinum.conf 
drive ibm1 device /dev/ad1s1e
drive ibm2 device /dev/ad2s1e
volume stripe
  plex org striped 512s
    sd length 58643m drive ibm1
    sd length 58643m drive ibm2
[root@gorbag dphoenix]# 

ad1: 58644MB <IBM-DTLA-307060> [119150/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33
ad2: 58644MB <IBM-DTLA-307060> [119150/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA33

As you can see these are 2 ide drives with 58643 Megs each. Well you can
see that with fdisk anyhow...fdisk seems to be 1 meg less than what dmesg 
reports.

Any suggestions to get some speed here? Or should i just go back to single
ide drives split up again?
