> However, as I said, gvinum is slow. I also run graid5 and some say it is pretty same for me. it works and works fast. but still - small writes WILL be slow as it's RAID5 because of this i don't have much uses for it, as in most cases today drive's capacities are much larger than amount of data that has to be protected. so i use gmirror most often > stable.
