Hi folks :-) after assembled a new hw (xeon, ich10 controller with 5 disks of 2Tb wd - radi5) I have slow write performance: 20Mb/s :-((( dd if=/dev/zero of=/share/raid/1Gb bs=1024M count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 48.7203 s, 22.0 MB/s I repeated same test also creating a 10Gb file.. same results.. write speed is better: dd if=/share/raid/1Gb of=/dev/null 2097152+0 records in 2097152+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.82054 s, 590 MB/s 20Mb/s is a disk/controller problem or controller can't do better? hw is new, I already check all disks.. thanks!
