No, I didn't
hmm... man blockdev
useful - new to me :) Not seen it on any googling to do with lvm.
I'll try this later when it's idle - thanks for the suggestion.
I do already have
Read ahead sectors 100
in the lvdisplay
yet blockdev --getra /dev/video_vg/video_lv
reports 256 (and, to be sure --getss says 512byte sectors)
Why is this different?
David
