Subject: [gentoo-user] mdadm and raid4
Date: Tue, 03 May 2011 21:54:44 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DC04164.8060503@dotcomltd.ru> (raw)

Hi.
How can I find out which is the parity disk in a RAID-4 soft array? I
couldn't find that in the mdadm manual.  I know that RAID-4 features a
dedicated parity disk that is usually the bottleneck of the array, so
that disk must be as fast as possible. It seems useful to employ a few
slow disks with a relatively fast disk in such a RAID-4 array.

Best regards,
Bushkov E.
