Hello,

I want to setup a Linux software RAID 5 over disks of different speed=20
with reiserfs on top. I know that the journal has to be accessed=20
frequently for comparably small accesses. That's why I'm considering to=20
"offload" the journal onto an extra partition on a faster disk of the=20
RAID set.

Thus, the journal would not be protected by the RAID, but this is not so=20
important for me.

Is this kind of reasoning sane? Would there be any speedup by offloading=20
the journal?

Thanks,

Xu=E2n Baldauf.
