> Does this sound reasonable? Does to me. Great example! Thanks for painting the pretty picture :-). Seeing as you're clearly the superior thinker, I'll address your brain instead of wasting wattage on my own. Let's say that MD had the feature to read from both disks in a mirror and perform a comparison on read. Let's say that I had that feature turned on for 2 mirror arrays (4 disks). I want to get a bit of performance back though, so I stripe the two mirrored arrays. Do you see any problem in this scenario? Are we back to "corruption could happen then" or are we still OK? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
