I did a bit of work on the Linux driver too and I know a fair bit about it. I had to send it back last year for a couple of mods and have't had a chance to test it out again since I got it back, but it looks quite good. Used as an external data=journal journal for ext3 it makes sync NFS go quite nicely. I haven't yet done a controlled comparison of NFS over ext3 with journal on one of these versus the same but with the journal on a mirrored pair of 15000rpm scsi drives, but I suspect it should go a bit faster. I'll let you know when I do it. NeilBrown
