I use the 2.4.0-test5-pre3 kernel together with Andre Hedricks ide patch
ide.2.4.0-t5-2.all.4c.patch.bz2 and reiserfs
The machine is a Athlon 650, equipped with 256MB of RAM.
6 IBM UDMA-66 drives of 46GB each, hanging on three Promise 20262 IDE
controllers form a raid5 software raid, reiserfs is the filesystem used
on /dev/md0
I'm a bit dissapointed with the read performance being about the same as
reading from a single disk (using bonnie with size set to 500MB)
- Is bonnie not the right benchmark to use here? What may be better ones
- Is there still another kernel patch needed for read balancing?
- Am I the only one with this problem?

Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time.
To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
