One thing I have a Q on -- you (OP), said this was an 'iscsi' box? That means hookup over an network, right? You are planning on using a 10Gbit or faster network fabric, right? a 1Gb ethernet will only get you 125MB/s max... doesn't take much tuning to hit that speed. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
