Hello, after a recent (data) lossy HD crash I decided to build a software raid 5 (3 disks)with Debian Sarge (2.6.13 Kernel) to keep that from happening again :-) Works pretty well but I am not really satsfied with the write performance (via samba). When uploading files via samba I get around 6 MB per second. Uploading to a non-raid disk works at full 100Mbit network throughput (10 MB p/s). The disks are current (S)ATA Maxtor 300 Gig, CPU is AMD 64 3000, 1 Gig RAM. I have one ATA disk as master on each of the two onboard IDE channels and the third SATA disk on one of my two SATA ports. I used a chunk size of 64KB with no strides.
I already did some googling and found various threads on raid performance but most of them where a few years old and did not really yield the information I was looking for. So before having to experiment with all kind of settings I hope that somebody does have any tips or tuning hints for me? I think with current hard- and software I should at least be able to get enough write performance to fill up my 100MBit network while uploading :-) Thanks & best regards Marc -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?
