Asus P5MT w/Pent D proc. 4gb Ram. 3ware 9550sx-8lp controller. openfiler 2.99 8 2tb Seagate Drives, software raid6 total of 4 gb ethernet ports in a bond. running iscsi & cifs .

that is why i just get them local, i just picked up 8 2tb seagate drives from tigerdirect @ 99/drive

ok, changed card to single drive jbod, and then did a r5 software raid, now im getting some progress! 100MByte/sec write, 60MB/sec read, WHILE it was doing a resync over a network cable :) im happy, way better then my readynas turd. ( 20Mbyte w/r )

hmm, i think i got some kind of performance bottleneck going on :( bonnie++ -d /mnt/vg0/video/Video/ -s 4000M -u root Using uid:0, gid:0. Writing a byte at a time...done Writing intelligently... done Rewriting...done Reading a byte at a time...done Reading intelligently...done start...

i realized i had an issue when i was getting some crap thru put, and then realized i had it plugged into the crap poe netgear switch and not my 1gbit , im pretty sure the switch its plugged into doesn't support it, so will retest when i get home.

Yeah, i see the CPU specs for openfiler as actually low, so maybe looking at underclocking it a bit, or maybe find a lower power cpu for it. only issue i have now is that i created a bond on the Broadcom BCM5721 onbound nics, and while doing a file copy, the bond ip was no longer pingable...

well, put it all together, did a firmware update on the 3ware card, everything went smooth, the bios on the card reported wrong array size, but openfiler saw the 12TB without issue, had to use parted to setup drive first as gui no likey (kept creating a 1024 byte array ).. power usage is...

First off Hello, First time posting, long time lurker! Anywho, looking to build a NAS/SAN for my network. I already have 8 2tb Seagate Sata Drives. But for hardware, this is what i have, and can't decided if i want to upgrade it, or just live with it. Pentium D 930 , Asus P5MT MB...
