Hello, I have tried to increase the Striped_Cache_Size from 256 (default for my MD-RAID5 array) to 8192, it does improve the MD-RAID5 Write performance which varies with the size of I/O packet. However, I'm still not very clean the meaning and the potential performance impact of this Striped_Cache_Size? Is the unit for this parameter Byte or KiloByte? Could anyone here explain with a little bit more details?
