I test is with bs=1M instead of bs=128K and I set up striped volume: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=1M-30k bs=1M count=30k 29150+0 records in 29150+0 records out 30565990400 bytes (31 GB) copied, 287.04 s, 106 MB/s I have a question on this, what is the difference between a distributed striped and striped volume? They can be created with the same command and a striped volume distributed anyway, am I not right? Thank you, tamas
