I threw caution to the wind and updated my firmware (turns out the

EXT3 performance seems to have improved noticeably on the RAID 0
devices I tested so it might be worth the update.
Some numbers would be good... like bonnie++ results, and some feedback
as to what the config of your raid setup is like.
Sorry, I'm not at the office anymore. The configuration of my test
CentOS 5 machine looks like this:
Dual Opteron 270 (4 cores total)
2gig RAM
OS on a standalone 80gig SATA disk
3Ware 9550SX with 8 x 500gig Seagate 7200rpm SATA drives
(firmware is now 3.0.8.00.016)
The RAID device is configured as a large RAID0 device (it's mostly
scratch uncompressed video and other temporary data) and is formatted as
an EXT3 filesystem. According to bonnie++ (with a data set of 4GB), I
was seeing writes around 325mb/sec and reads around 430mb/sec.
Best,
