Right, the kernel does not know how many disks are in the array, so it
can't automatically increase the readahead. I'd say increasing the
readahead manually should solve your throughput issues.

I left the stripe size at the default, which, I believe, is 64K bytes;
same as your fakeraid below.
I did play with 'blockdev --setra' too.
I noticed it was 256 with a single disk, and, with s/w raid, it
increased by 256 for each extra disk in the array. IE for the raid 0
array with 4 drives, it was 1024.
With h/w raid, however, it did not increase when I added disks. Should I
use 'blockdev --setra 320' (ie 64 x 5 = 320, since we're now running
RAID5 on 5 drives)?
