I have been looking at the performance of the RAID5 read on the following kernels MB/sec READ on 5 + 1 RAID5 2.4.9-e.27 SMP RedHat 30 2.4.9-ac18 SMP 28 2.4.22 SMP 80 As numbers indicate there is a large difference in performance. I wonder if anybody else had seen this problem during the 2.4.9 kernel and what the fix was? I would use the 2.4.22 but it has a more serious issue with hanging when doing a scsi hot add/remove . The 2.4.9-e.27 does not have this scsi hang issue. ===== Don Jessup Asaca/Shibasoku Corp. of America 400 Corporate Circle, Unit G Golden, CO 80401 303-278-1111 X232 donj@asaca.com http://www.asaca.com - 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
