Just to follow up my speed observations last month on a 6x SATA <-> 3x
PCIe <-> AMD64 system, as of 2.6.18 final, RAID-10 checking is running
at a reasonable ~156 MB/s (which I presume means 312 MB/s of reads),
and raid5 is better than the 23 MB/s I complained about earlier, but
still a bit sluggish...
md5 : active raid5 sdf4[5] sde4[4] sdd4[3] sdc4[2] sdb4[1] sda4[0]
1719155200 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/6] [UUUUUU]
[=>...................] resync = 6.2% (21564928/343831040)
finish=86.0min speed=62429K/sec
I'm not sure why the raid5 check can't run at 250 MB/s (300 MB/s disk
speed). The processor is idle and can do a lot more than that:
raid5: automatically using best checksumming function: generic_sse
generic_sse: 6769.000 MB/sec
raid5: using function: generic_sse (6769.000 MB/sec)
But anyway, it's better, so thank you! I haven't rebooted the celeron
I hung for the duration of a RAID-1 check, so I haven't checked that with
2.6.18 yet.
