Re: Adding a second SCSI backplane

Ken Cornetet pointed out a brief mental lapse on my previous bonnie stats - I was only using 100Mb file sizes which was probably cached. I reran it with a file size of 1Gb - duh I knew better :) I also forgot to mention that this is with kernel 2.2.10 with the latest RAID patches.
