Seems strange on the surface.  Would you mind posting the layout of each?  ‘lvs -a -o +devices’

here is for LV created without -i, both times with & without I supplied all ten(all that VG has) pvs as arguments to lvcreate.

$ lvs -a -o +devices,stripes,stripe_size chenbro0.1

I cannot remove this LV for a while thus will not be able to recreate with -i for now, sorry.

hi boys, girls

man page reads: -i ...This is equal to the number of physical volumes to scatter the  logical  volume data....
I wonder, when I do not use -i while creating an LV with 10 phy devs.

$ lvcreate -n raid0.A --type raid0 -I 16 -l 97%pv

a dbench would show:
$ dbench -t 60 20
...
Throughput 112.309 MB/sec  20 clients  20 procs  max_latency=719.409 ms

Yet when I say: this many stripes:

$ lvcreate -n raid0.A --type raid0 -I 16 -i 10 -l 97%pv

dbench:
...
Throughput 83.2822 MB/sec  20 clients  20 procs  max_latency=816.027 ms

And though the results would vary, xfs, a dbench for LV with no -i as an argument(which LVM chooses then to be 2) would always look better.
And I thought, as in the manual, always make stripes to go to all phy devices.

Question - is there some "little" magic LVM does? And if yes then how/what it is?
many thanks, L.
