Hello Daniel Iliev, > Actually I'd be glad to read some results from a "Fake RAID-0 vs LVM" > tests. My bet would be that RAID-0 w/o LVM would give the best speeds Omitting LVM isn't an option, I'd lose all the flexibility that LVM offers. I don't see why RAID-0 should be necessarily more efficient than LVM, unless there's something superior about RAID-0's striping algorithms. I could do some before and after tests, but I'd first have the reformat the filesystems to remove any effects of fragmentation. If no one comes up with a good reason for keeping the RAID, I'll get rid of it, running bonnie++ before and after. -- Neil Bothwick Contentsoftaglinemaysettleduringshipping.
