Wow. I have the same situation, (can't give you the specs, other than to say the primary is a 16GB drive of 1999 era, and the secondary is a 40GB drive of late 2001 era. I get a good 20MB/sec or more to each drive, by themselves, and copying between drives is unexpecedly quick (quicker than copying from the one drive to itself) on the 2.4 series kernels. No kernel stalls or anything to make the system less interactive. I booted up 2.6-t4, but haven't stress tested it yet. So I'm afraid I can't help you. -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ "You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink." -- Terry Pratchett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
