If you're happy with EXT4 on the P400 based RAID6, you'll be even much happier with 3-4x more performance using md for the RAID6. If it was worth your time to test the XFS concat I would think this test would be even more so, as it appears you'll be sticking with EXT4. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
