Good catch. As I said I've never used it before, so I wasn't exactly sure how it all fits. Seemed logical that when he went from testing the mdadm device to the lvm volume and lost almost exactly 10x that a striping issue wrt lvm may be in play. > AFAICT the striping options are entirely pointless when layered on > RAID, and could be responsible for the performance issues if it > can have a negative impact (such as thrashing the disks if you > tell it to write multiple stripes to a single disc). I would have thought so as well, but didn't understand the exact function of -i at the time. I thought it was more like the xfs "-d sw=" switch. >From another post it looks like the OP is making some good progress, although there are still some minor questions unanswered. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
