I am running a PowerEdge 2650, 1gig of ram, raid 5, single xeon 2.4 Ghz processor, with a PERC3, DC, 128MB, 1 Internal & 1 External Channel I am using the megaraid driver. I am running kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl [root@mail /]# /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 60 MB in 3.14 seconds = 19.11 MB/sec This is slow as hell. I am running fedora core 1. I ran this machine on suse 8.1 as a test and it was around 125 MB/sec. I am testing this machine out with fedora before I buy Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES for a full production server. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help. -- Avery
