    Readahead of raid0 was suboptimal; it read only 1 stride ahead.  The
    problem with this is that while it will keep all spindles busy, it will not
    actually manage to make larger IO's, eg each disk would just do the chunk
    size IO.  Doing at least 2 chunks is more than appropriate so that each
    spindle will get a chance to merge IO's.
