I also ran: hdparm -tT /dev/hda, as described in the windows thread by
Karsten, and it came in at 28 MB/s
Decent, not great.
- Does the processor speed have anything to do with I/O performance?
Not directly. Processor speed on blocking tasks (encryption, find/sort,
compression, decompression

Right, 2.4 vs 2.6 kernels handle I/O differently, I don't consider dd
a very good measurement of performance since read/writes to raw
disk devices (without caches, buffering, ordering, or filesystem) are
pretty rare.
Oh, so it very well may be an apples to oranges comparison?
So Knoppix is config

If you want to speed it up tweak the parameters under /proc/sys/dev/raid.
You should be able to get close to whatever the hardware is capable of,
at the cost of higher loads and mo

Hi,
I just installed Sarge on an old PPro 180Mhz, with / on a RAID1 device
and everything else on RAID1/VG/LVGs (which is very easy using the new
Debian installer). I'm building this machine to be an offsite backup
machine.
It took 10hrs to sync my 100GiB partition, the first time, which seems
