Dell PE2950
2 x Quad Core Xeon 5355
16 GB Ram
Infinihost III DDR HCA
2 x 143GB SAS 13k RPM disks for the metadata volume ( in a hardware
perc5 raid 1)

Dell PE1950
2 x Dual Core Xeon 5150
16 GB Ram
Infinihost III DDR HCA
3 x MD1000s w/1TB Drives
Each MD1000 is connected to a single perc5 and has two 6tb raid5 arrays.
OSS2

Dell PE1950
2 x Dual Core Xeon 5130
8 GB Ram
Infinihost III DDR HCA
2 x MD1000s w/750GB Drives
Each MD1000 is connected to a single perc6 and has two 4.4tb raid5
arrays.
IMPORTANT --
For a significant increase in read performance run this command on
every block device exported by the perc5/6. A wiki page on the Dell
perc5/md1000 combination could be very useful specifically for this
purpose, or perhaps some mention in the user manual. Am I able to
create wiki pages?
/sbin/blockdev --setra 16384
Thanks again!
