Hi, Did some tests between various scenarios: RAID-10/RAID-6 with three 3TB disks, and RAID-6 with 12 1TB partitions, using: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/md1/out.txt bs=64k count=32000 conv=fdatasync
RAID-10 with disks was obviously the best (2x write speed), RAID-6 with disks gave 1X, but surprisingly RAID-6 with partitions was still at 0.8x, even with the RAID in active sync, and with the partitions not optimally aligned in order to ensure that they are exactly the same. If this is the case, I am willing to live with that much loss in speed. Read speeds are always the same, but that is probably because of OS/disk caching, and I need to fix my scripts.
