You can see the chunk size either in the raid's BIOS tool (Alt-3 at
startup) or, if installed, in the 3dm CLI (defaults to 64k, I think).
Hmmm, from what I can see in the tw_cli documentation, stripe size
(and hence, presumably, chunk size) doesn't apply to RAID 1.
(apologies is the formatting goes awry):
Stripe consists of the logical unit stripe size to be used. The
following table illustrates the supported and applicable stripes on
unit types and controller models. Stripe size units are in K (kilo
bytes).
Model | Raid0 | Raid1 | Raid5 | Raid10 | JBOD | Spare |
Raid50 | Single |
------+---------+--------+--------+---------+------+-------+--------+--------+
9K | 16 | N/A | 16 | 16 | N/A | N/A |
16 | N/A |
| 64 | | 64 | 64 | | |
64 | |
| 256 | | 256 | 256 | | |
256 | |
------+---------+--------+--------+---------+------+-------+--------+--------+
I'm focused now on swapping the card for a fresh one to see if it
makes any difference, as per Ross's suggestion.
