hi al, I am completly new to this list and to Debian and arm too. Anyway I succeded in installing my Intel S4000e with kernel 2.6.25.1 and latest lenny Debian. I cross compiled my kernel using the patch I found on the net and then moved the zImage to the scratched (init-ialized) RedBoot Flash.
I really have to thanks this site http://em7210.kwaak.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki because without it I could never accomplish to this task Everything seems fine, I also installed nfs and samba joined to my domain. The question is: I scratched my SS400E because it was really slow, using samba AND nfs was almost impossible (no more than 1MB/s write speed) Now the performance are considerably better than before, but I think they are still poor. I am non able to write to it faster than 8 MBytes/s, regardless of using samba or nfs Copying from one disk to another (local copy) doesn't pass 12 MB/sec. I have inside this storage 4 X 500 Gb Sata 2 Hitachi Disks, capable of 300 MBytes/s (they say...) I know this storage is sata1, but in principle 150 MB/second should be achieved. I have less than 10 % of this throughput. I configured this disks as a raid0 device and also as a concatened linear device, noting no differences. I also saw no performance differences in having them separated in single disks (sda2, sdb2, sdc2,sdd2...) The question is: Is there anybody having faster rates ? The second question is: is there any way of having my disks "lighted" ? thanks in advance, Andrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
