In the current Documentation/md.txt, the lower limit value of stripe_cache_size is 16 and the default value is 128, but when I update kernel to the latest mainline version and RAID5 array is created by mdadm, then execute the following commands, it shows an error and a difference respectively. 1) set stripe_cache_size to 16 [root@localhost ~]# echo 16 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument 2) read the default value of stripe_cache_size [root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size 256 I read drivers/md/raid5.c and find the following related code: 1) in function 'raid5_set_cache_size': if (size <= 16 || size > 32768) return -EINVAL; 2) #define NR_STRIPES 256 So the lower limit value of stripe_cache_size should be 17 and the default value should be 256.
