Hi everyone, I just joined the forum, WIN! Thank you for reading my post!
Anyway I just got a new NAS and have finished building the RAID 5 on 3 disks.
I chose stripe size of 1024kB, or 1MB. File system XFS.
I have some IOzone scans that I did just now
Sorry but what is a record size? Is is the size of the IO request?
I am curious to know if stripe size and record size affect performance and if they should be matched.
i understand that Windows picks 64kB by default when handling transfers after reading the test methodology revision on SmallNetBuilder.
FTP transfers are much faster , 10-20MB/sec faster for read and writes. My application is storage and retrieval of large movies and CD/DVD ISO images from all Windows PCs through the Windows Network Protocol (SMB i believe?)
Any comments on how I have set up my NAS? XFS and 1024 stripe size.
