I have read something about Raid-0 to the effect that the size of the 2 =
disk joining together also has to be of equal size. Can anyone =
elaborate? I have done one but one disk is 20G and the other is 15G. =
Does it mean that the parity will not be distributed evenly? Or in fact =
the I/O performance will not be optimum?
Also if joining 3 disk together the speed improvements will be roughly =
increased by 3 folds given the 3 disks of equal size in a Raid-0 setup??
