HI! What kind of disks do you have? I hace SATA from Hitachi and I only get this: /dev/md0: Timing buffer-cache reads: 1940 MB in 2.00 seconds = 969.03 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 172 MB in 3.02 seconds = 56.93 MB/sec MIlan Mark Horton wrote:
Unfortunately I don't have a solution, but I was wondering about your DDR400 with a 242 CPU. My understanding is that this would run at DDR333. Do you have any idea if you are getting DDR400 speed? I'm not even sure how to determine this. I have used hdparm -T for some sort of rough estimate. I'd be curious what your results are.
Here's mine with a dual 240 DDR333 system:
hdparm -T /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Timing buffer-cache reads: 2680 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1339.33 MB/sec
This result is fairly average for my system... sometimes its lower sometimes its higher.
