You need to give more accurate information. What are the "consumers" you = mention? Maybe you mean the disks/components of the RAID? > Now i copy from raid3 to a single hdd 75GB data.

Due to the way raid3 works, it's by definition more CPU-intensive than=20 most other RAID levels, but it shouldn't be even remotely slow as that.=20 Also, since your load is > 2, what are the other CPU intensive tasks? --------------enig94DA44A3D5E7C984628C02BB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGCllIldnAQVacBcgRAsoSAKCREdqq6y5w3iXlHbyz/P1JofRpQACfUyQL tWYzgdzFK/imqQNDmY9ZhzI= =oLcw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig94DA44A3D5E7C984628C02BB--
