I'm there now, running RAID 0 on three identical disks! :-) Performance is
not as good as I had hoped, but that is not RAIDframe's fault, but my old
DEC disks. Here's bonnie output:

              -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
              -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks---
Machine    MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU  /sec %CPU
           64   670 41.2   925 18.8   564 23.0  1075 97.5  1378 43.0  34.5 12.3

I have'nt got a 'before' listing, so for comparison, this is a 1.2 G
HP3724 disk:

              -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
              -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks---
Machine    MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU  /sec %CPU
           64  1117 93.5  1517 45.6   818 42.0  1157 94.8  1936 60.9  41.8  8.7

:-) it's actually faster...
