Thanks to the excelent job of Thomas Sparrevohn I get 52MB/s, this is
an excerpt of their comments:
"Changes the DMA speed to 66 - The Controller is a 100 controller and the disks
are 100 Disks but I think the default for the controller is 66 and hence
there are most likely a small initialisation difference between Linux, NetBSD
and FreeBSD"
# diskinfo -t ad5
ad5
....
Transfer rates:
outside: 102400 kbytes in 1.897858 sec = 53956 kbytes/sec
middle: 102400 kbytes in 1.934135 sec = 52944 kbytes/sec
inside: 102400 kbytes in 2.735875 sec = 37429 kbytes/sec
Soren whilst that this solution doesn't makes sense it is fine to me :-)
Poul, now I'm using gstripe with two disks (52 MB/s by disk) and diskinfo
reports a final throughput of 40MB/s. is it normal with gstripe?
# diskinfo -t /dev/stripe/test
/dev/stripe/test
.....
Transfer rates:
outside: 102400 kbytes in 2.529268 sec = 40486 kbytes/sec
middle: 102400 kbytes in 2.524635 sec = 40560 kbytes/sec
inside: 102400 kbytes in 2.524111 sec = 40569 kbytes/sec
