While the new machine's disks *should* be at least as fast, there are a range of variables and so no guarantee. As a basic test, try simple file transfers (e.g., using scp) between these two machines and a third one. Do both large files, and groups of small ones. You need to keep as many variables as possible constant in the test - e.g., same network connectivity from these servers to testing machine, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
