I've never heard any of them say other than that Opteron IO handling is noticably better than Intel's. otoh, I could easily believe that if you're running the Opteron systems in acts-like-a-faster-xeon mode (ie, not x86_64), you might be exercising some less-tested paths. regards, mark hahn. - 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
