The same test on a scsisetup much like the above just with scsidisk : *:~# hdparm -T /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdb5: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.95 seconds =134.74 MB/sec /dev/sdb5: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.42 seconds = 18.71 MB/sec When it comes to real world test my scsibased system is almost twice as fast as the idebased one :) -- Venlig hilsen/Kind regards Thomas Kirk ARKENA thomas(at)arkena(dot)com Http://www.arkena.com BOFH excuse #27: radiosity depletion -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
