(And Im still skeptical on your stripe size of a CG, but im being convinced slowly :) The problem as I see it is that we have millions of 4k articles. Okay, so maybe a stripe size of 4k is poor because of directory look ups and what not, but why not a stripe size in the range of 128k or 256k, why jump all the way up to 32MB, seems that you will miss the "sweet" spot that striping can get you.. -Crh -- Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@msu.edu http://pilot.msu.edu/~henrich
