Hi,
I have this server:
Supermicro 370dl3 motherboard, two PIII 1000 cpus, 1.5gb SDRAM,two nics, the integrated one and an intel mt1000 PCI-64, two sata cards, one sil3112a PCI and one 3ware 9500s 4lp PCI-64, and six HDDs connected to then.
I have IPFIRE instaled on it at it is working as a router/firewall/proxy and NAS.
First of all, I don't have a lot of experience with linux neither with this old servers.
My problem is that for example when I copy files between two diferent hdds with mignight commander it only reaches around a max on 11mbs second in the case of big files.
I don't know if the machine can't give more because it's old hardware or if I have something wrong.
Maybe people with more experience can tell me if the new sata hdds are limited by the old P3 hardware and that 11mbs is the maximum posible or if I can do something to improbe the perfomance of the hdds.
Thanks.
