It does not astonish me that you get 5 MB/s on a RAID-5 config, although if you used SCSI and/or a real HW RAID-5 controller with significant cache (ie, 64+ MB) that would help the performance by quite a bit. Use RAID-5 for read-only or read-mostly situations and you'll be better off; use RAID-10 for write-heavy filesystems instead. -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
