Hi!

I didn't find sources for debian 2.6.18-3 kernel, but I did find sources for
what appears to be 2.6.18-8
The kernel I use is here
http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64
Yesterday, i left the machine with a battery of test running bonnie++ on
different chunk sizes raid0 and raid5 setups with ext2/ext3, with different
stride values, and nocrypto/aes128/aes192/aes256.
I can post the result and the script here when it finish.
Does this mean that the stride parameter is useless when using loop-aes
over RAID5?
I looked at the kernel sources and mount man page, and I didn't find any
support for stride (or stripe) mount option for ext3 file system. Not in
base Linus' kernel or in debian/patches/* of above mentioned debian kernel.
Maybe I missed something obvious here. How are you using that stride
parameter?
The stride parameter is in mke2fs command.
This is from the mke2fs man page:
---------------------------------------------
stride=stripe-size
Configure the filesystem for a RAID array with
stripe-size filesystem blocks per stripe.
---------------------------------------------
When the tests get finished we'll see the effect of this parameter
