On my 3ware equipped system running hw raid5 I get lousy write speeds (approx 5-15 megabyte/s) on writes. I get great read speeds. I don't sit directly on the console so I have no idea if the system is interactively responsive or not, but I notice no problems being logged in via ssh. On the other hand, the 3ware volume is only used for bulk data storage, the system, swap and other often needed data that is accessed and changed often, I have stored on SCSI drives that are RAID1 or not RAIDed at all. I would never store the system/swap on a 3ware hw RAID5, that would be disasterous for performance. Could you perhaps describe your system setup in more detail? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@xxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
