Hi all! I have a 3ware SATA Raid controller configured with 5 disks in RAID5.
I am trying to store millions of pictures on these disks, and am trying to find out how best to configure everything... So far /etc/sysctl.conf vm.max-readahead=512 vm.min-readahead=512 vm.bdflush=10 500 0 0 500 3000 10 20 0 in /etc/fstab have mounted with 'noatime' The filesystem structure is so that there are no more than 1000 files/ directories in one directory When I create the filesystem, should I use the stride option? or is this only for software raid? If I use stride, what value should I set. The controller is set / as per default to 64k stripes. After mounting the filesystem, and doing my first 'ls -ln' in a directory with 1000 pictures it takes ages!
