I ran in a strange 60MB/s barrier somewhere and would like to have some
highlight about it :

I use a machine with 3 PCI buses, each bus with 3 U2W-LVD SCSI channels.

All disks deliver a little more than 20MB/s (Quantum 18.2).

Whatever CCD configuration I try, I get a 60MB/s peak read performance
per CCD. I tried 4,5 and 6 disks, on various channels, on various PCI
busses, etc...: Can't get more than 60MB/s.

Using two CCD on same controller pull up perf to 72MB/s (which is near
the channel bandwidth). Using 3 CCD's on different channels takes me to
a little more than 160MB/s (and 2 CCD's on different channels give me
about 120MB/s. Peak perf with all disks active (direct read) is
175MB/s).

Any guess where does that 60MB/s/CCD limit comes from ?

(Performance numbers with vinum also welcome).

Additional Infos:
3.2-STABLE, Intel C440GX+ SMP Bi-Xeon 500, 2x3950U2W (channel A used) +
Internal 7896 controller.

TIA.
