However, it appears from a private email from a NetApp person that a 4 disk volume (3d+1p) is sub-optimally tuned, and could result in vastly decreased performance.
Is this right? I thought that *less* than 3 data discs was the point at which the (non-)readahead performance penalty started kicking in.
I've explicitly got a 3d+1p volume on which performance is certainly an issue, and I made it that size for that reason (it could have been 1d+1p as far as capacity was concerned). Did I do the wrong thing?
