It's not tag odering that is a win but big queue depth. That's what you measured and what I fully agree on. I haven't been able to get out of Hannes what he actually measured. And if you'd actually look at the patchset allowing deep queues is exactly what it allows us, and while I haven't done testing on this patchset but only on my previous version it does get us back to use the full potential of large arrays exactly because of that. -- 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
