It's a generic 2.6.9 kernel (AFAIK).
I tried the same setting on a different box with SLES 9 SP3 (2.6.5) 
which does have rotorstep.
With inode64 I can sustain 235+MB/s on the same array test after test.
When I do not mount with inode64, I get the same results as the 32bit 
machine (~100-130MB/s)
Without inode64 plus rotorstep (set to 255), the perfomance improves to 
about 140-160MB/s.

Generally the first test is fast and then drops over the next few tests 
(even writing as few
as 100 16mb files per test).

Thanks,

Deanan
