Jan 23 19:21:36 <Reedy> thats interesting, 5.85 MB/sec copying from my NSLU2
Jan 23 19:23:11 <caplink811_log> ftp or smb?
Jan 23 19:23:50 <Reedy> smb on debian to vista
Jan 23 19:24:09 <Reedy> copying ~ 1GB files
Jan 23 19:24:38 <Reedy> "Maximum read speed: ~3.5MB/s (CPU load ~40%)" on the wiki Preformance page
Jan 23 19:25:23 <caplink811_log> that value is my experience too
Jan 23 19:26:22 <Reedy> im sure it was a lot less when i last tried, but its a while since
Jan 23 19:52:20 <PPmarcel> You can plug your WD raptor now :)
Jan 23 19:53:13 <Reedy> heh, i've just put a RAID 5 (3 x 1TB) WD Caviar Black array in my desktop
Jan 23 19:53:16 <Reedy> very nice speeds :D
Jan 23 19:53:35 <PPmarcel> wOA :D
Jan 23 19:54:16 <PPmarcel> Raid 5 is 2 storage disk + 1 magic backup for both?
Jan 23 19:54:36 <Reedy> 2 storage, 1 for parity, so get the storage of 2
Jan 23 19:54:42 <Reedy> well, parity is split over the 3 drives
Jan 23 19:54:43 <PPmarcel> Ok

Jan 23 19:55:05 <PPmarcel> I always thought it was 1 specially for parity :o
Jan 23 19:55:38 <Reedy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks
Jan 23 19:55:45 <Reedy> "Striped set with distributed parity or interleave parity."
Jan 23 19:55:50 <PPmarcel> How is the transfert rate for 1 disk?
Jan 23 19:55:51 <Reedy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RAID_5.svg
Jan 23 19:56:13 <PPmarcel> Ok
Jan 23 19:56:25 <Reedy> ~ 90 IIRC (from benchmarks by others)
Jan 23 19:56:26 <Reedy> brb
Jan 23 19:56:57 <PPmarcel> 50 MB/s more, it's good
Jan 23 20:16:27 <Reedy> upto double on the best preformance on the stripe block size (its set to 128)
Jan 24 01:45:16 * joat is away: Away
Jan 24 01:45:27 * joat is back (gone 00:00:00)
