Thanks for the prompt. I did some basic research on soft RAID and
wonder if applying the bps limit on /dev/md0 like below could make
this work.
mdadm -C -v /dev/md0 -l raid0 -n 2 /dev/sd[b-c]1
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid0/
echo "/dev/md0 100000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
I didn't find information about 'RAID internally'. Could we set the
limit on the root device(the one used for mount) to manage the whole
partition without caring about where the bio finally goes? Or ask the
user to decide if to use by making sure the device they apply will not
do RAID?
