hi,

I have a Promise SX6000 in a RAID5 using Linux Debian on an AMD 
AthelonXP 2500+.  This array will store mostly GIS data. So about 30% 
large files (a few hundred megs) and 70% small files (several megs).  I 
am curious what stripe block size to use 4-64k (the fs is reiserfs).  I 
was thinking 32k for the stripe block size.

Thanks,
J.
