Impressive. What levet of raid10 was involved? and what type of equipment, how many disks? Maybe the better output for raid5 could be due to some striping - AFAIK raid5 will be striping quite well, and writes almost equal to reading time indicates that the writes are striping too. best regards keld - 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
