Yes. :-) This system tries to serv about 500-800 downloads. The final goal is the 1k! ;-) And this point why i am asking the list, because the HW performance is much more without raid0 layer. :-/ The 780-800 Mbit is "almost" enough to 1k downloaders. > Or is this the max node-HD throughput?

I unable to test write, because this is a productive system. Think this value is about 75-80 per node and ~200-250 in md31. > > > > But the cat /dev/md31 >/dev/null (RAID0, the sum of 4 nodes) only makes > > > ~450-490 Mbit/s, and i dont know why.... > > > > > > Somebody have an idea? :-) > > > > Try increasing the read-ahead setting on /dev/md31 using 'blockdev'. > > network block devices are likely to have latency issues and would > > benefit from large read-ahead. > > Also try larger chunk-size ~4mb. Ahh. This is what i can't do. :-( I dont know how to backup 8TB! ;-) Thanks, Janos > > -- > Al > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
