Re: [Xen-users] Physical Disk VBD vs File VBD Performance

Correct me if I'm wrong, when writing

Now if I write to the dom2 it has to write the whole data to one spindle.
RAID5 frequently causes performance losses, not gains, although with
high performance controllers and disks you can see performance
improvements over a raw disk. The problem is that the data isn't just
striped like in a RAID-0 set, the data has to have parity information
calculated and written out as well, and all disks get hit with write
requests at the same time when writing out data. On reads (in a
non-degraded set), you may see performance increases because of the
striped nature of the data, but no guarantees.
