I suspect you're running into LVM being single threaded. But it's
hard to tell how you built the device. Can you please do:
lvdisplay -a data/data
and also give us the exact command you used to build your LVM volume
and the xfs filesystem ontop of it. Also, what is your CPU like and
your SATA controller?
I'd probably re-do the RAID using RAID4 (fixed parity disk) since
you're (probably) just doing a bunch of writing of video files, which
are large streaming writes, so you won't pay the penalty of the
Reade/Modify/Write cycle that RAID4/5 has with lots of small files
being writteing. But I'd also be using MD under-neath LVM, with XFS on
top. Something like this:
1. partition each disk with a single whole disk partition
2. mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid4 --raid-devices=8 /dev/sd[a,b,c,e,f,g,k,l]1
3. pvcreate /dev/md0
4. vgcreate data /dev/md0
5. lvcreate -L +12T -n data data
6. mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/data-data
And then see how the performance is then.
