Most configurations using the IS16000 have 8+2 RAID6 luns. I've seen sustained 15 GB/s to a single filesystem on one of the arrays with a 600 drive configuration. The scalability of XFS is impressive. -- Geoffrey Wehrman SGI Building 10 Office: (651)683-5496 2750 Blue Water Road Fax: (651)683-5098 Eagan, MN 55121 E-mail: gwehrman@xxxxxxx http://www.sgi.com/products/storage/software/ _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
