Hello Neil, This is my init script's one part: blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/nb0 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/nb1 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/nb2 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/nb3 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/md1 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/md2 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/md3 blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/md4 blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/md31 :-) This is the "default" for me. The test is have made with this settings. The problem is somewhere else....
