So the proper comparison of raid6 software overhead is to run the same application writing a fixed large amount of data to 4 drives at raid0 and the same 4 drives at raid6.
Actually, it is probably better to run the application with 2 X data to raid0 and 1 X data to raid6 so the amount of written disk data is the same. That way the comparison will remove the bus/disk difference caused by sending different amounts of data and: overhead = raid6_time - raid0_time; jim -- 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
