I did stress test the gdth driver and I'm quite impressed :)) It does work,
the speed is very good, CD-ROM data corruption has gone and it doesn't crash
when reading/writing 2048 bytes/sec MO drives. Wildcard MO reads/writes with
a helluva lotta files do work like a charm :))
Thank all the ICP vortex staff, keep up a good job!
I do hope we'll see the new driver release based on rev. 1.23 beta on ICP
site and in the kernel tree really soon. Once more thank you guys for the
best hardware RAID controllers for Linux available :))
