That is not even close to reasonable. I have never seen buffered reads THAT bad. Timing cached reads: 1316 MB in 2.09 seconds = 629.02 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 158 MB in 3.02 seconds = 52.25 MB/sec That is what I get when I run it on an HP d325. Do this too if you want some more information on your drives. hdparm -I /dev/hda -- Brian J. Schrock -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
