I realize that setting up a stripset properly is tricky, and I may well have
made a serious error, so I am open to "pilot error" responses.
I found that if I ccd'd the two Maxtors I have their combined throughput
dropped to about 15MB/sec. That is with each drive being the only thing on
an IDE controller on my motherboard (my cdrom is SCSI).
I wasn't expecting to see much improvement over 27MB/s, but I was not
expecting a drop.
Pilot error? Expected behaviour? I don't know. I'm happy without ccd, to be
frank. It served it's purpose well when I was using old, slow SCSI disks.
I hope you have better luck with 3Ware, but I'd check to make sure.
