Well, I'm really sorry I didn't run these benchmarks. In the process of installing these new drives, something happened to my old SCSI disk such that it isn't detected on the bus. This is why I wanted RAID in the first place! In addition, one of the new drives appears to be defective, which will delay the process. It hasn't been my day. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
