Daniel,
Try removing the "-z" argument. It causes RRD write times to be randomly
spread over the "-z" time. This may reduce the degree to which your
writes are coalesced.
I'd be interested to see what your approach is for managing the striped
files once we need to rm individual RRDs. In many cases, the set of RRDs
is a moving target. It would also be nice if the "slots" in the stripe
files could be reused once a file was rm'ed.. Or re-packed when there are
a lot of holes.
Also, the striped RRDs must all have the same RRA/DS definitions right?
Then, it would make sense to set the stripe size to some multiple of a
full row.. For some K:
strip_size = K * sizeof(rrd_value_t) * ds_cnt
