Since I'm using slackware linux distro I suppose it is a kenrel.org kernel. As for the filesystem, this would be the cause of the problem. I've ran multiple tests with bonnie++, performance is outstanding - 75mb/s sequential read 60mb/s write, just until drives fill up with data up to the mentioned point of 30-35%. As for the 2.4.23 stuff I could do it but I hoped that someone could give me a hint where might be the problem. - 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
