Just to add to this, when I run the above 'dd' command, I see top reporting 35-40% interrupt usage on the drive on the RAID controller, while it's 3-5% for the drive on the VIA controller, and the drive itself is: 0 READY ad4: 58644MB <IC35L060AVER07-0> [119150/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 Bruce Cran To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
