Hi, I cannot find authoritative information about the relation between the RAID chunk size and the correct stride parameter to use when creating an ext2/3 filesystem. My understanding is that (block * stride) == (chunk). So if I create a default RAID5/10 with 64k chunks, and create a filesystem with 4k blocks on it, I should choose stride 64k/4k = 16. Is the chunk size of an array equal to the stripe size? Or is it (n-1)*chunk size for RAID5 and (n/2)*chunk size for a plain near=2 RAID10? Also, I understand that it makes no sense to use stride for RAID1 as there are no stripes in that sense. But for RAID10 it makes sense, right?
