I recently rebuilt the mdadm software RAID 6 array that forms the bulk<br>
of my MythTV recording space, and would like to report on my<br>
experiences benchmarking it.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the write-up. Were the underlying partitions aligned or did they started at sector 63 like default? Also, did you consider re-doing the benchmark with ext4? CentOS 5.5 includes ext4 (Red Hat Tech Preview) and I wonder how it fares compared to JFS.<br>
<br>I recently set up a 6-disk RAID-6 on my new i5-750 backend. I've not benchmarked it, but I did use GPT partition tables on each disk with the first partition starting at 2MB using gdisk (fdisk for GPT special utility).<br>
