Hi all, There are four different "checksumming algorithms" -- really, disk layouts, in Linux. Is there anything "known" about the relative performance of these? The default for mdadm and mkraid is currently left-symmetric; is that a sensible default? I'm asking because I'm trying to get my RAID-6 project going, and these layouts get a lot more complex with two redundancy drives. Thus, I'm considering just supporting one disk layout at this point, and I'd like to pick one :) -hpa -- <hpa@transmeta.com> at work, <hpa@zytor.com> in private!
