Hi all,
I have in my 4-STABLE system 2 drives in RAID 0 configuration:
ATA channel 2:
Master: ad4 <WDC WD600AB-22CBA1/04.07B04> ATA/ATAPI rev 5
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 3:
Master: ad6 <WDC WD600AB-22CBA1/04.07B04> ATA/ATAPI rev 5
Slave: no device present
and following controller
atapci0: <Promise ATA100 controller> port =
0x9800-0x983f,0xa000-0xa003,0xa400-0xa407,0xa800-0xa803,0xb000-0xb007 =
mem 0xf0800000-0xf081ffff irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci2
( only this controller is sitting on irq 9 )
and I have noticed very low write speed with samba , transfer speeds are =
lower then 1 mb/s, here is output from iostat
tty ad2 ad4 ad6 =
cpu
tin tout KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s us ni sy in =

68
when read speed goes more then 8mb/s transfer via wire already, after =
playing with samba settings I found out what writing to ad2 drive which =
is not RAID0 part goes up to 7-8Mb/s without problem. So all my guessing =
about wrong samba or network tuning was wrong and I come to the point:
why writes to array are so slow ? Is it "normal" or there is a way to =
fix this somehow ?
Please reply me directly to e-mail ( if there will be any ;-)
Thank you,
Putinas
