Right. [Any way to avoid these, btw?]  I got side-tracked by the
comments about the new (to me) delaylog mount option to xfs; as the
results were not exactly as exp[ected I though it might be interesting
to report these.

But as the subject says, my current topic is tuning RAID0 to avoid
exactly this type of bottleneck; or rather looking for tunable options
on RAID0

Best regards,
