Um... not quite. That was the number you listed for S/W RAID5. In that case you're not benchmarking the controller in the same way; the controller is just serving requests with no RAID processing overhead at all. Could you get results for Linux that bypassed the filesystem but used H/W RAID5 like you are with FreeBSD? >>> Compared with: >>> dd if=/usr/testfile of=/dev/null bs=64k count=100000 >>> Read: 152Mb/s -- Jonathan Noack | noackjr@alumni.rice.edu | OpenPGP: 0x991D8195 --------------enigAF948B5FA8AE6B7B648DD275 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCdpj9UFz01pkdgZURAiy4AJ9gNWWnE/F4Wnui9HVk5c/UDZNYMwCgxQYx H1N2wcElnMeLOMyjAz7YYQs= =sXiJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigAF948B5FA8AE6B7B648DD275--
