You should probably try to time the disk reads, not the buffer cache... hdparm -t BTW, on my RAID5 setup (4 drives) with a 3Ware card, hdparm gives pretty much the same result as a single drive. I believe that the performance is enhanced in random access, not linear, like hdparm does. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
