Hi,

there is a raid 0 and raid controller is Smart Array 64xx (rev 01)

hdparm -tT /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 returns the following

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2660 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1329.92 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 248 MB in 3.00 seconds = 82.55 MB/sec

if i try to hdparm -I /dev/cciss/c0d0 it returns
/dev/cciss/c0d0:
operation not supported on SCSI disks
