By my calculations, 1048756 is *not* a multiple of 32768 (32
Kilobytes). Did I miscalculate?

i created a 32KB chunk size 3 disk raid5. then write this disk with a
small code i wrote. i found that even i write it with 1048756 in unit,
which is multiple of stripe size, it still has a lot of read when seen
from iostat.
any idea? thanks!
i attached the code for reference.
