Thanks to the excelent job of Thomas Sparrevohn I get 52MB/s, this is
an excerpt of their comments:

"Changes the DMA speed to 66 - The Controller is a 100 controller and the=
 disks
are 100 Disks but I think the default for the controller is 66 and hence
there are most likely a small initialisation difference between Linux, Ne=
tBSD
and FreeBSD"

# diskinfo -t ad5
ad5
=2E...
Transfer rates:
	outside:       102400 kbytes in   1.897858 sec =3D    53956 kbytes/sec
	middle:        102400 kbytes in   1.934135 sec =3D    52944 kbytes/sec
	inside:        102400 kbytes in   2.735875 sec =3D    37429 kbytes/sec

Soren whilst that this solution doesn't makes sense it is fine to me :-)

Poul, now I'm using gstripe with two disks (52 MB/s by disk) and diskinfo=

reports a final throughput of 40MB/s. is it normal with gstripe?

# diskinfo -t /dev/stripe/test
/dev/stripe/test
=2E....
Transfer rates:
	outside:       102400 kbytes in   2.529268 sec =3D    40486 kbytes/sec

	inside:        102400 kbytes in   2.524111 sec =3D    40569 kbytes/sec
