Subject: 3ware driver maximum request size
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 10:13:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44E4877F.2070708@xfs.org> (raw)
Does anyone know why the 3ware driver caps I/O at 128K bytes per scsi
request? The driver defines a scatter gather array which will always
cope with at least twice this.
I am running with the TW_MAX_SECTORS constant at 512 and getting
256K I/Os to a 6+1 raid5 lun on a 9550SX. By my calculations this
does not exceed the defined sizes of the scatter gather arrays for
this type of device (but would I guess for the escalade variant
in the code).
I know nothing about the hardware itself, but if this works it seems
like a worthwhile change for the newer devices.
Thanks
Steve Lord
