thanks a lot for all your replies. :)
here are some statistics i gathered:
LINUX:
-----
6,8 MB/s @ bs=2048
6,7 MB/s @ ibs=1M
obs=64M
6,6 MB/s @ bs=32K
FreeBSD:
-------
2,8 MB/s @ bs=2048
9,5 MB/s with recoverdisk /wo failures
9,5 MB/s @ ibs=1m
obs=64m
9,5 MB/s @ ibs=32k
obs=64m
indeed recoverdisk seems to be ideal for my case. i'll try to use it more
often. ;)
thanks again.
cheers.
alex
ps: seems linux is completely ignoring blocksizes, but that's their problem. ;)
