1 Hello,
2
3 I am using in a dual Xeon Server a SRCU42X SCSI RAID controller by
4 Intel. Fully equipped with 12 SCSI drives. (two different RAID5
5 drives). But I am fighting with a very poor performance. When
6 copying large files (2GB) from one directory to another I am
7 getting 13MB/seconds.

9 master ~ # uname -a

13 I am using the Megaraid kernel drivers.
14 master ~ # grep -i mega /usr/src/linux/.config

34 Also I can't use the webconsole of Intel. Not sure, if it's
35 expecting the kernel driver as a module. When starting the
36 webconsole and accessing it via http://IP:3570/ I am getting:
37 "No Raid Servers available"

39 Any ideas ?
