Something is bad wrong. I have two servers w/8 SATA drives each setup as replicate/distribute and I'm getting over 30Mbps on my writes (for larger files of course). Nothing special about the machines (2.5Ghz Dual Core, 8Gb memory, SuperMicro 8-port non-RAID SATA controller).

The network is GigE, dedicated switch. I am experiencing maximum 2 MB/sec running a "dd" over a client mount point. Thank you very much -- Henrique Haas +55 (51) 3028.6602 www.dz6web.com
