Please do share your findings.  I suspect my own RAID+LVM+EXT3/4
system is not optimized - especially with LVM I have no idea how
blocks in ext3/4 end up mapping to stripes and physical blocks.  Oh,
and this is on 4k disks.

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I REALLY want to move to btrfs
when it fully supports raid5.  Right now the various layers don't talk
to each other and that means a lot of micro-management if you don't
want a lot of read-write-read cycles (to say nothing of what you can
buy with a filesystem that can aim to overwrite entire stripes at a
time).
