Initial page creation.
== Task ==
The machine 'scotland' is equipped with six 1.5TB disk drives. Partition 9 on each drive is unused. We're going to use these partitions to benchmark various RAID levels.
# Create a RAID array of the six partitions (/dev/sd[a-f]9) using the appropriate mdadm command(s).
# Create an ext3 filesystem on that array.
# Benchmark the array using the [[Winter_2009_SYA810_Block_Device_Benchmark_Scripts]]. Repeat the benchmarks at least 3 times -- more if the results seem to vary substantially.
# Stop the RAID array.
== Important Notes ==
* '''Do not''' use any devices other than /dev/sd[a-f]9 as members of the array.
* Do not have any spare elements in your array.
* Make sure the system is quiet (not doing any background processing) when you run your tests.
== Who's Doing Which RAID Level ==
Write you name on here according to RAID levels chosen in class.

== Results ==
Record your results here. A table would be nice!
