Hi, I am trying to put Linux raid in Box with 256 MB of RAM. The kernel is compiled with non-swappable memory management option. I looked into raid5.c and found, it allocates one page for each chunk. I am using 5 disks for 64k chunk size. considering my kernel is within 30 MB. 1. If one page is allocated for one chunk instead of actual buffer size, isn't memory lot of memory is wasted? 2. It will restrict the no. of stripes in memory (in case of non-swappable memory, no will be very less) will effect performance of IO badly. Please correct me, if I am wrong, also any suggestion to overcome this problem is most welcomed. -- Thanks in Advance, Kunal Kushwaha-- -- 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
