What am I doing wrong? ext3 and ext4 do NOT perform identically out of the box.. You might be running into the write barriers problem here with ext4 forcing the RAID controllers to push commits all the way to the hard drive before returning (thus making the BBWC next to useless). You might try w/ ext3 on the new system instead. Also, the p800's are definitely better than the p400's, but I don't know that it's the controller that's really the issue here.. Thanks, Stephen
