I assume raid0 means striped activity in a paralleled mode at lease similar to raid0 in mdadm. How can I measure the btrfs read speed since it is copy-on-write which is not the norm in mdadm raid0.? Perhaps I cannot use the same approach in btrfs to determine the performance. Secondly, I see a methodology for raid10 using the command....mkfs.btrfs -m raid10 -d raid10 /dev/sda/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd... Can I apply the parameters above for -m and -d for raid0? If using raid0 for two devices and add another device, is it striped as raid0 also or does the system change it to raid1. What happens to the speed of the system when a new device is added? Is it increased ? Much I have at hand for mdadm software raido and it doubles the read speed. What parallel exists in raid0 btrfs? Or is it completely off base to expect a speed increase?
