I tried it, but without any success. The vmstat output below indicate what happens. As it shows, the 'bi' is quite stable (but slightly falling) around 30-35 megs per sec. After the buffer memory is filled up/used, it tries to swap out a little, works itself downwards before stabalizing at ~900kB/sec - from two 120G IDE drives in RAID-0 !!! thanks for any help. roy procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 0 99 0 0 583376 7456 191076 0 0 34822 0 669 391 0 6 94 0 99 0 0 513392 7540 258720 0 0 33864 0 657 458 0 9 91 0 99 0 0 447432 7608 322484 0 0 31916 0 639 417 0 6 93 0 99 0 0 379816 7692 387836 0 0 32718 0 666 354 1 7 92 0 99 0 0 308704 7784 456560 0 0 34408 0 673 410 0 7 93 0 99 0 0 237428 7876 525444 0 0 34486 0 670 407 1 7 92 0 99 0 0 171460 7988 589172 0 0 31920 0 630 387 0 6 93 0 99 0 0 110328 8080 648240 0 0 29582 0 634 295 1 4 95 0 99 0 0 41876 8172 714392 0 0 33118 0 1076 552 0 13 87 0 99 1 376 2340 1612 760852 0 0 33836 6 661 313 0 14 86 0 99 1 376 3312 1288 760240 0 0 29870 0 1018 595 1 11 88 0 99 2 376 3252 1260 760428 0 0 30616 22 667 447 1 11 88 0 99 0 376 3268 1296 760344 0 0 25324 0 647 414 0 8 91 0 99 1 376 3316 1320 760140 0 0 28272 0 700 500 0 6 93 0 99 0 376 2564 1352 760920 0 0 25960 0 758 455 1 7 91 0 99 0 376 3276 1372 760236 0 0 19910 0 746 415 0 6 93 0 99 0 376 3264 1404 760108 0 0 18396 0 824 454 1 7 92 0 99 0 376 3272 1444 760056 0 0 16324 0 846 480 0 6 94 0 99 0 376 3268 1472 760024 0 0 14414 0 886 493 0 6 94 0 99 0 376 3304 1500 759964 0 0 10630 0 891 463 0 6 94 0 99 0 376 3244 1532 759984 0 0 7198 0 913 449 0 6 94 0 99 0 376 3276 1564 759924 0 0 4730 0 920 488 0 4 96 0 99 0 376 3264 1568 759924 0 0 4102 0 966 479 0 6 94 0 99 0 376 3332 1584 759872 0 0 942 0 936 486 0 4 96 0 99 0 376 3288 1584 759884 0 0 902 0 948 464 1 4 94 0 99 0 376 3268 1584 759904 0 0 970 0 956 499 0 3 97 -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk, MCSE, MCNE, CLS, LCA Computers are like air conditioners.
