        Hello Justin (& all) ,


My read ahead is set to 64 megabytes and 16384 for the stripe_size_cache.

Might you know of a tool for acquiring these (*) parameters for a scsi drive ? hdrarm really doesn't like real scsi drives so that doesn't seem to work for me .

(*)     "BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=7936kB,"  Stolen from above .

Best bet is to benchmark and test, try 128,256,512,1024 for the chunk size, also if your drives are on the PCI bus, it probably won't matter much.
