Thanks for that Bruce I'm quite surprised that these numbers are
so low after playing with a cheapo hightech SATA controller which
with the help of the guys on the list I was able to give out 200MB/s
I really would expect the relatively expensive SCSI controllers to
do significantly better especially as they have superior disks attached
( 10K vs 7k2 ) and not performance which is well below ( 1/2 )
that expected of a single disk.
Can anyone report good performance from their SCSI RAID5
set on 5.4?

My 3210S generates around 45Mps:
su-2.05b# dd if=ft_sill_photos.zip of=/dev/null
4040211+1 records in
4040211+1 records out
2068588162 bytes transferred in 46.935343 secs (44073145 bytes/sec)

Compared to my 39320:
su-2.05b# cd /spare
su-2.05b# dd if=ft_sill_photos.zip of=/dev/null bs=65536
31564+1 records in
31564+1 records out
2068588162 bytes transferred in 84.538472 secs (24469193 bytes/sec)
which is where the system files are mounted (/, /var, /usr, etc).
Both cards are installed in 64 bit/66 MHz slots. The system
disk is a 10K IBM U160 disk, the RAID is composed of Seagate U320
drives. Still, performance is limited to U160 levels due to the
controllers or the drives...
