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.

Running test with 10 RAPTOR 150 hard drives, expect it to take awhile until I get the results, avg them etc. :)

Definitely a kernel bug, I set it to 64kb and it stayed in D-state until I ran alt-sysrq-b.

Pretty nasty!

Ack, help??

[   64.032895] Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: md3 (logdev: internal)
[   66.210602] XFS: xlog_recover_process_data: bad clientid
[   66.210656] XFS: log mount/recovery failed: error 5

After I ran 64kb it killed my RAID!

16MB is best performance per previous benchmarks.
