experiences with raid5: stripe_queue patches

2007-10-15 Thread Bernd Schubert
Hi, in order to tune raid performance I did some benchmarks with and without the stripe queue patches. 2.6.22 is only for comparison to rule out other effects, e.g. the new scheduler, etc. It seems there is a regression with these patch regarding the re-write performance, as you can see its

Good evening, I hate to be a noob, but my system is dying (I think it's a bad motherboard) so I wanted to get this email out before the system died again. I've got 2 different RAID-1 devices (md0 and md1). md0 uses the on-board IDE controller and md1 has two SATA drives each is attached to a

Thanks for the extra details. I still cannot manage to reproduce it which is frustrating, but I think I can fix your array for you. Get the source for mdadm 2.6.3, apply the following patch, then use mdadm -A /dev/md0 --update=this /dev/sd[abcde] that should re-write the part of the
