A customer has done a test of multipath on RHEL 5, and he found that the
speed is 30-40MB/sec, but it can reach 160MB/sec when using EMC
powerpath or using multipath on RHEL 4. That customer just uses the
default configuration and I found there was a little difference between
the configurationfor EMC DGC in the hwtable of multipath on RHEL4 and
RHEL5. But I don't think that will impact performance. I have no idea
now. Who can help me? thanks.
