Then as you said you'll have to do multipath LVM to create two LVs to stripe together to use both your HBAs and get some more performance. However with only 16 7k RPM drives you can't hope much more than 1.5 GByte/s, which is achievable with only one 3Gb SAS HBA... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emmanuel Florac | Direction technique | Intellique | <eflorac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | +33 1 78 94 84 02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
