OS: Gentoo 2006.0 with gentoo's hardened kernel Version: I haven't checked. Im guessing 8.0.8 (latest stable on all systems) or 8.1.4 which is the latest package. I'm still gonna try to run with smart array 5i. How can i find out that my performance with that is crappy? Without ripping down my systems, and using software raid?
