This is a test to determine whether we're gaining way against the line =
size
problems that I've been experiencing in sends to this list. Sorry for =
the
noise...
The "4W" part of the RAID 5 formula is actually true only for RAID 5 =
groups
larger than 4 disks. On a 3-disk RAID 5 array, for example, both large
writes and small writes will consume only 3W I/O calls (one for each =
disk).
The complete formula is actually R + min(4,G)*W. Since most of you have =
G>3,
the simplified formula that uses '4' as a constant yields the correct
answer.
