I can't see the difference between equal mirrors and somehow interleaved layout on RAID1. Since you have to seek anyways, there should be no difference between both approaches once you read big enough chunks. The problem with reading big chunks is: you probably read far too much when you don't really need the data you did read. And vice versa: when you don't read big chunks, it doesn't matter how your data is laid out. regards Mario -- Whenever you design a better fool-proof software, the genetic pool will always design a better fool. - 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
