What is your stripe cache size?
I didn't fiddle with the default when I did these tests.
Now (with 256k chunk size) I had
# cat stripe_cache_size
256
but increasing that to 1024 didn't show a noticeable improvement for
reading. Still around 550MB/s.
You can use blockdev to raise the readahead, either on the drives or the
array. That may make a difference, I use 4-8MB on the drive, more on the
array depending on how I use it.
Kind regards,
Thiemo
