Getting much over 90 MBps would be a challenge. Really the only process running on this machine is an rsync daemon which runs at 04:00 every morning, and I really don't care if the rsync takes an extra 10 minutes or some such. Of course, in the event of having to copy the entire data set to a failed array, any extra performance would be welcome, but I'm really not concerned about it. Now if this were one of my commercial production servers, it would be a different matter, but this is for my house, and it is only a backup unit. That doesn't mean I am going to revert to the smaller bitmap chunk, though. -- 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
