Hi, I got very low read performance when I'm using /dev/md* devices (software RAID0). The write performance is twice the read performance. My configuration is two USB 2.0 hard drives on separate USB 2.0 controller ports. Case 1: Using /dev/md* directly on the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb devices gives 20MB/sec with both read and write operations. However, when using: Case 2: # losetup -e aes256 /dev/loop1 /dev/md1 # mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/hd gives 18 MB/sec performance on write operations, but 10 MB/sec performance on read operations. What's wrong? /Mr. Ericsson - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
