Disk Settings - Tunable Parameters


Recommended Posts

I found this posted in the bata12 thread:

You can experiment with the tunables on "Settings/Disk settings" page, in particular md_sync_window, which in essence, says how many 4K i/o's to queue down into the disk drivers when doing parity sync/check.  If you have alot of memory (say more than 1G), then you can also increase md_num_stripes (maybe double it) - this defines how many total active i/o's can exist, more-or-less (and directly affects how much memory is allocated to the unRaid driver).

I've tried searching to see if there's anything in the FAQ/Wiki which explains all the tunable parameters, available in the Disk Settings, but wasn't able to find anything.

 

I there anything, other than Tom's comment above, that explains these, and the effects of changing them.

 

Cheers.
