If your primary workloads for this array are mostly single user/thread streaming writes/reads then this may be fine. If they are multi-user or multi-threaded random re-write server loads, re-write is the most important metric and you should optimize for that scenario alone, as its performance is most dramatically impacted by parity RAID schemes such as RAID 6. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
