While raid-6 is building I noticed writes are going on to all the drivers. Whereas in raid-5 I see writes happening to only one drive. Any clue ? ---------- iostat dump for raid-6 --- Device: tps MB_read/s MB_wrtn/s MB_read MB_wrtn sda 152.76 23.81 3.74 47 7 sdb 181.91 25.35 5.50 50 10 sdc 161.31 24.84 3.30 49 6 sdd 153.77 23.52 4.02 46 8 sde 169.85 26.29 3.27 52 6 sdf 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 sdg 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 sdh 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 sdi 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 Device: tps MB_read/s MB_wrtn/s MB_read MB_wrtn sda 152.02 24.05 3.44 47 6 sdb 168.18 26.23 4.14 51 8 sdc 163.64 22.76 3.69 45 7 sdd 166.67 24.37 4.04 48 8 sde 166.16 24.78 3.57 49 7 sdf 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 sdg 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 sdh 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 sdi 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 --------------- Thanks, Marri -- 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
