You are right -- I have not benchmarked yet. Speed is not that important to me. I am really only concerned with the redundancy. I just thought that hdparm would be a good test of single threaded sequential reads( but I have no idea if that is true ). A few kernels ago I tried the raid-1 read b

I have often had the same question. I run in a raid-1 configuration and my read performance( mesured with hdparm -t ) on the md devices is about half of that of the ha[a-z] devices. I had always assumed that reads where ballanced among the devices that made up the raid-1 volume and that reads wo

Hi, I've successfully set up SW-RAID0 with Kernel 2.4.3 and Raidtools 0.9. I did this to increase the performance of my HD, but nothig happens. hdparm -t /dev/md0 : 20.25 MB/sec hdparm -t /dev/hda : 20.51 MB/sec hdaprm -t /dev/hdc : 20.71 MB/sec I thougt the performnace of RAID0 should near 40MB/s
