Here's a bonnie comparison on my system. The first test is a single
drive (the boot drive) 4.3gig IBM 7200rpm unit. The second test is
a pair of OEM IBM 7200rpm 9.1gig drives.
System details:
AMD K6-233
64mb fpm parity ram
RH 5.1
Mylex BT-950
3Com 3C900 ether
1 fast/wide/ultra 4.3gig 7200rpm disk (boot)
2 x fast/wide/ultra 9.1gig 7200rpm disks (/export) ---> /dev/md0
2.1.125 kernel + most recent raidtools patch (981106)
