Its not good for database performance and random small writes but it
shines in large file operations. Either way a 3 disk raid5 (software
or hardware) should be able to generate 100MB/s sustained on linux so
this probably is not an issue.

        Especially since John Terpstra's home setup uses a 4-disk RAID and
gets up to 90MB xfers over CIFS.  (Is that with standard size network/TCP
packetsizes?  Or anything non-default for tuning on that?) :-)
