256k for stripe size
I??m looking for a way to create a LVM lvol using stripping with stripe size = 256k.
When I see the man pages for lvcreate command, I see the max size for stripe is 32k.
Any suggestion ?
I`m am working with 2 XP256, and we are wondering if using stripping or using distributed policy of LVM.
Any experience about this ?
Thanks

Re: 256k for stripe size
To strip most effeciently, find out the block size of you XP.
For instance on my autoraids it uses 64 so I strip at 64, so there is not waste.
lvcreate -l ???SIZE??? -i 2 -I 64 -s y (???n lvol#) /dev/vg0#
Good Luck,
C

Re: 256k for stripe size
That parameter is specified in kilobytes so simply use -I 256. I seldom see any benefits above 64 since the whole idea is tyo spread the I/O over multiple paths.

Re: 256k for stripe size
The stripe size can be 4-32768 KB .
Do a "man lvcreate" and see that the stipe size is specified in KB and can be 4 to 32768.
Hope this helps.

Re: 256k for stripe size
You can also do "extent based striping":

Re: 256k for stripe size
Thanks all of you.
I have experience on EMC disks but, now we are working whith HP XP256, so I would like to hear about experiences over this platform.
I always used stipping over EMC, it works fine, but over XP we are doing tests and any experience will be gratefull.

Re: 256k for stripe size
We do have XP256/512s and I tried to do some benchmarking with different stripe sizes. However, these benchmarks need not be true and the performance is entirely dependent on your application and the way it reads/writes. So, I would say to benchmark your application against different stripe sizes than looking for a generic recommendation.
If you get some chance and if the data is not too much, you may want to stripe the file systems with different stripe sizes and loadtest.
One thumb rule in performance management is "it depends".
