I have found a 16MB stripe_cache_size results in optimal performance after

We have discussed this before, my experience has been that after 8 x stripe
size the performance gains hit diminishing returns, particularly for typical
write instead of big aligned blocks, possibly with O_DIRECT. I would suggest
that as a target even on a low memory machine.
Do your tests show similar? I was only able to test three and four drive
setups using dedicated drives.

I will re-benchmark with my current setup, however:
Each of these are averaged over three runs:
128k_stripe: 69.2MB/s
256k_stripe: 105.3MB/s
512k_stripe: 142.0MB/s
1024k_stripe: 144.6MB/s
2048k_stripe: 208.3MB/s
4096k_stripe: 223.6MB/s
8192k_stripe: 226.0MB/s
16384k_stripe: 215.0MB/s
This was with 6 sata disks.
Justin.
