Depends on how fast one's disks are. 30MB/sec is about "normal" these days for real world disk thruput. Haven't fiddled much with configurations but I have a pair of Seagate SATA-300 on SATA-150 interface 300 GB drives striped with gvinum that currently peak at about 60 MB/sec, paired. Individually about 45 MB/sec. Have older Hitachi 160's that were faster on FreeBSD under vinum than the Seagates under gvinum. Currently mounted, striped, on Mac Pro, and will sustain 90+ MB/sec peaking at almost 100. Between those two filesystems I can usually ftp at over 50 MB/sec. Limited by disk bandwidth. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
