Hello, I have a raid device /dev/md0 based on 4 devices sd[abcd]. When I write 4GB to /dev/md0, I see following output from iostat... Ques: Shouldn't I see write/sec to be same for all four drives? Why does /dev/sdd always have higher value for BlksWrtn/sec? My strip size is 1MB. thanks for any pointers... avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.02 0.00 0.34 0.03 0.00 99.61 Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn sda 1.08 247.77 338.73 37478883 51237136 sda1 1.08 247.77 338.73 37478195 51237136 sdb 1.08 247.73 338.78 37472990 51245712 sdb1 1.08 247.73 338.78 37472302 51245712 sdc 1.10 247.82 338.66 37486670 51226640 sdc1 1.10 247.82 338.66 37485982 51226640 sdd 1.09 118.46 467.97 17918510 70786576 sdd1 1.09 118.45 467.97 17917822 70786576 md0 65.60 443.79 1002.42 67129812 151629440 -- 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
