Subject: SW-RAID0 Performance problems
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 13:47:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01041313473002.00533@debian> (raw)

Hi,
I've successfully set up SW-RAID0 with Kernel 2.4.3 and Raidtools 0.9.
I did this to increase the performance of my HD, but nothig happens.
The hdparm results:
hdparm -t /dev/md0 : 20.25 MB/sec
hdparm -t /dev/hda : 20.51 MB/sec
hdaprm -t /dev/hdc : 20.71 MB/sec

I thougt the performnace of RAID0 should near 40MB/sec.
I played with different chunk-sizes, but the result was everytime the same.
The drives are both Maxtor DiamondMax VL40, 30GB, DMA on. 
No other drive is attached on the bus.

Here are also some bonnie++ results:

Are there known performanace problems with 2.4.3, or is it necessary to 
apply patches to the kernel? 
Or did I something wrong??
Thank you for every hint!
