Hello list, normally, I'd think that combining drives into a raid1 array would give me at least a little improvement in read speed. In my setup however, this does not seem to be the case. 14:16 opteron:/var/log # hdparm -t /dev/sda Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.01 seconds = 56.52 MB/sec 14:17 opteron:/var/log # hdparm -t /dev/md3 Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.01 seconds = 56.45 MB/sec (and dd_rescue shows the same numbers) The raid array was created using # mdadm -C /dev/md3 -b internal -e 1.0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sd[ab]3 Jan -- - 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
