Ok, will give it a try, in a couple of days, I've done SO MUCH testing over the last several months, that I need a break, even if I was having fun . . . [EDIT] Oh, on a side note, I setup Windows2003 server on a friends PC this evening, which has newer equipment in it, using a Promise sx4060 HBA, an...

Well, anton, I'm not sure what to say, the Intel pro 1000 PT card (PCI-E) did make a difference, but not a whole lot. This time, I used Starwind + Starport, and the best transfer I recieved was an average of around 40MB/s, with a peak of around 55MB/s, using an img file. SPTI is much slower (between...

I'm currently using Starport now, but not for iSCSI, last night, I set my Dapper 6.06 LTS box up for AoE, and only Windows software that supported AoE Initiator was Starport . . . I'm still at an impass, no matter what sort of storage protocol I use, ~30MB/s seems to be my limit, UNLESS, I use your ...

Ive tested openfilers iSCSI implementation, and Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS, with iSCSI enterprise Target implementation so far. Initiator, I've always used MS' Initiator. The main problem I have with Dapper, is that driver support is not complete, and thus I'm not able to test with jumbo frames enabled ...

1 You can grab DataCore or FalconStor thing to check what they can do on the same hardware. Would be nice to compare the results BTW. Well, just taking one look at those, and I can tell they probably want A LOT of money . . . However, I've done A LOT more testing, with different iSCSI implementatio...

This situation happens b/c 1) comparably long pipeline 2) iSCSI breaks original 64K requests into smaller ones and they are < stripe size on your array. There are a couple of things you can do. First - try desceasing stripe size (say use 4KB, however it would be CPU killer), second approach would b...

Ok, I've done a bit of testing, and have yet more questions now . . . First of all, let me say that 85MB/s on cheap GbE equipments (Jumbo frames enabled), is what I'd consider pretty good. Well, that is 85MB/s using a RAM disk. Now, using an IMG file, I get 49MB/s on a RAID0 array that is capable of...

Hello again anton, Well a few things I'd like to mention. 1) Main reason why I'm still(or was) using Vista RC2, is that I wanted to see if it was worth paying for. For now, I'm still trying to make that determination, so paying for Vista, is not an option for the moment. 2) The Program Files "b...

Hello, First of all, I would like to point out that there seems to be a small compatibility issue with Windows Vista RC2 build 5744 (ultimate). When installing to %root%/Program Files/, it seems that Vista by default, requires admin privileges to install programs, then afterwards, marks the director...
