Re: Mirrored volume peformance questions

near/offset i think it´s the same (near) speed
i´m checking this:
https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Performance

and some tests i did

I have a few questions about volume mirroring performance implications.

2. Similarly, would a RAID10 configuration give me the same (or better) read behavior across these same disks, while providing twice the storage capacity of the above configuration?
RAID10 and RAID1 gives the same storage capacity with the same disks.

Linux MD RAID10 is actually just another way of doing raid1-like
layouts.

in md world
raid1+ raid0 != raid10

raid10 can use layouts
raid1 can?t

raid10 have diferent read_balance algorithms than raid1
raid10 with far layout is better optimized for sequencial read (it?s
like raid0 stripe)
raid10 with near/offset layoute are better optimized for multthread
Hmm, raid10 near, offset and far are about the same for multithread,
according to several benchmarks. Actually the far layout has significant
better random read performance than the near layout in some thests,
about 25 % better speed, and about 100 % bettter speed than raid1.
