Not sure what the right thing to do here is, or even if it's a real
problem, but:

I have 8 75GB IBM drives striped in a big raid 0 for monkeying with.

newfs -i 131072 -v /dev/vinum/bighonkindisk seems to very nicely put all
the data that newfs write out on to the first disk...  It least, only the
first disk gets any io, accoring to systat and iostat.

Which would seem to me to be problematic in terms of using fsck -b, and
also just for the fact that it would seem that you would have to hit that
disk more often than the others, even though it's striped.

I realize there's no protection with the raid 0, but the load doesn't seem
evenly distributed on a transaction basis, even though the data is evenly
spread.  

What's the right thing to do here?
