On my pc I get: /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.73 seconds = 73.99 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.98 seconds = 21.48 MB/sec On my laptop I get /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 596 MB in 2.01 seconds = 296.52 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 54 MB in 3.05 seconds = 17.70 MB/sec On other raid server I have on production I get /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.24 seconds =533.33 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.29 seconds = 49.61 MB/sec Which "line" should be "at least 45MB/sec"? I read the man page for -tT opt but I know too little of how it works to really understand it. sandro *:-) -- Sandro Dentella *:-) e-mail: sandro.dentella@tin.it http://www.tksql.org TkSQL Home page - My GPL work - 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
