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