Yes the disk reads is a more realistic real world test : /dev/sda5: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.23 seconds =104.07 MB/sec guf:~# hdparm -t /dev/sda5 /dev/sda5: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.84 seconds = 10.96 MB/sec The above result is from the Ultratrak Tx8 (TX8000 now) with 8 60 Gigs IBM deskstar 7200 rpm in raid 5. Kind of slow if you ask me. -- Venlig hilsen/Kind regards Thomas Kirk ARKENA thomas(at)arkena(dot)com Http://www.arkena.com BOFH excuse #411: Traffic jam on the Information Superhighway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
