readahead (blockdev --setra) with sw raid(5)?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

just saw a 3ware document with some hints for hardware raid5
they advice to use blockdev --setra 16384

since i'm not using 3ware hardware raid
(i'm using 2*7500 3ware's with sw raid5 over 14 disks)
i'm wondering if --setra can still improve my raid performance

any hints about this ?
or some other hints, improvements on filesystem ?
i'm currently using blocksize 128, maybe switching to 256 helps ? (with large files)
