I have some old dd numbers from when I was experimenting to find a UFS/gstripe combination that wasn't horrifyingly slow to read. I was not then adjusting filesystem blocksize, and not until moving UFS2 bs to the maximum did initial results seem worth resuming iozone tests. Raid HW stripe-wi

Hi, I posted earlier about some results with this same system using UFS2. Now trying to test ZFS. This is a Dell PE2950 with two Perc6 controllers and 4 md1000 disk shelves with 750GB drives. 16GB RAM, dual quad core Xeon. I recompiled our kernel to use the ULE scheduler instead of default.
