I get 15 to/from (I don't remember which) Linux LVM to a USB disk. It does seem to saturate there. I assume due to interrupt service time between transfers. I appreciate the contention for the IDE, but in a 3MB/Sec system, I don't think that it is my bottleneck, much less in a 100KByte/second system. Do you disagree?
I *have* a PCI add on card, which is unplugged to make the system dead-simple until I figure out why it does not function! As a side note, most such controllers report themselves as a RAID card or some such, and Solaris will refuse to talk to them! The only one I could find that would work was an IT8212 with an out of production flashchip that ITE supported an alternate BIOS for. I went through 3 or 4 different ones before finding it! You seem to say it is easy to buy a PCI add-in and have it work under Solaris - what card are you thinking of, and where did you find it? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
