Anyone know how to best tune a system for RAID performance?

Keith, what kind of RAID controller is it?

Thanks.  I went ahead and did it.  FreeBSD stacks up pretty
well against RedHat 7.3 (using bonnie++ and raw dd) except
for sequential block input where it gets beaten 170MB/s to
70MB/s.  I'm using soft updates but haven't tuned the fs
beyond that.  Might you have any suggestions on how I could
tweak the filesystem to get better sequential input in 
block mode?  

Just ignore me if you're busy - I'm really just playing 
around here.  Even if FreeBSD's numbers are better, I 
seriously doubt that I could get the project to switch over
anyway.

Just noticed - did you change your email address from vigrid?
thanks,
Keith
