It was going with 32k just REALLY slow, will use 128k+

I have found a 16MB stripe_cache_size results in optimal performance after testing many many values :)

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.

I set it to 32 and my machine has several hung processes in D state, not good. I will start with 128k and up.
