yeah, I thought it was smb at first aswell, but I get the exact same speed over ftp. And rm'ing a file (on ssh to the server) and playing a mp3 at the same time shouldn't make the mp3 skip 1-3 seconds should it?
And I've had a stable 11mb/sec out of smb before (tweaked).

elvtune shows read_latency of 2048 and write_latency of 8192, that's already quite low isn't it? If not, have any example values I can test with?
cat .config | grep -i tcq shows
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ is not set
should I manually set it and compile? It's not in make_config.
also does anyone have a lvmcreate_initrd script for lvm2?
just did a bonnie++ test on the lvm volume. Seems VERY slow doesen't it.
