You can't easily increase performance in a single file access case with more disks. Especialy in the R5 case where you have several blocks depend on the same parity. > If vinum already does that I'm probably just saturating the PCI bus > and there's nothing more I can do, but it seems like I should have > a tougher time saturating the bus with 5400RPM drives... Vinum is designed for multiple file access which is a more common situation for a unix system. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usergroup [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
