I'm about to create a RAID5 with three 4TB disks (ST4000VN000 from Seagate) and I wonder what the optimal chunk size is/should be. There are so many different views on the internet that I've almost lost faith in the internets. Is there even such a thing as optimal chunk size? Are there any other stuff I should think about? -- chs
