I have ext4 over lvm2 on a sw raid5 with 2.6.39.1
In order to save power I have my drives spin down.
When I access my filesystem mount point, I get hangs of 30sec or a bit more
as each and every drive are woken up serially.
Is there any chance to put a patch in the block layer so that when it gets a
read on a block after a certain timeout, it just does one dummy read on all
the other droves in parallel so that all the drives have a chance to spin
back up at the same time and not serially?
Thanks,
Marc
