Hi,
I just tried the 2.6.14-rc1 kernel to see if it exhibits the behaviour
I have described before[0]. It still does. Briefly, I have a dual Xeon
2.8 with 4GB ram, 1 adaptec and 1 fusion-mpt scsi device, each connected
to 1 SCSI JBOD with 5 disks apiece[1]. I/O on scsi ids 0 and 1 both
work flawlessly. I built an md device across ids 2 and 3, and the disks
connected to the fusion-mpt are unbearably slow. This behaviour was not
present in 2.6.12.3. When I partition the devices in question and mount
a filesystem on them, they exhibit the same behaviour individually.

Here is what iostat looks like during what should be heavy I/O (my
tesh.sh script described in [1] is running), showing only the relevant
devices:
$ iostat 1 -k | awk '/(Device|md5|md6|md7)/{print $0;}'
