Re: Slow Soft-RAID 5 performance

Are you sure about that chunk size? In you initial posting you show
/proc/mdstat reporting:

"md2 : active raid5 sdc3[2] sda3[0] sdb3[1]
     780083968 blocks level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]"

Which would seem to state a 128K chunk, and thus with a 4k block size
you would need a stride of 32.

The chunk_size is at 256KB, ext3 block size is 4k. I believe the correct
option that should be passed trough to --stride is 64.
Am I correct ?

I've also tested ( after sending my first report ) with xfs.
I've also increases readahead to 65535 on all HD's
I've also increases the stripe_cache_size to 16384.

I can now get ~100MB/sec...
