Just got my new array setup running RAID 6 on 6 disks. Now I am looking to tune it. I am still testing and playing with it, so I dont mind rebuild the array a few times. Is chunk size per disk or is it total stripe? Will using mkfs.ext3 -b N make a performance difference? Are there any other things that I should keep in mind? -Adam
