I've got a RAID5 spanning four SATA drives on a dual core Athlon 64, and it'll happily do 185MB/s to /dev/null with the command: for FILE in *; do dd if="$FILE" of=/dev/null bs=1M; done 300,000 interrupts later, still no messages. Anything I can do to isolate this further? -- Cheers, Alistair. 'No sense being pessimistic, it probably wouldn't work anyway.'
