Note also that data=journal effectively doubles the write time. It's a bit faster for small writes (because all writes are first done into the journal, i.e. into the same place, so no seeking is needed), but for larger writes, the journal will become full and data found in it needs to be written to proper place, to free space for new data. Here, if you'll continue writing, you will have more than 2x speed degradation, because of a) double writes, and b) more seeking. /mjt - 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
