This is only available on RAID5 and RAID6. It records the size (in

pages per device) of the stripe cache which is used for synchronising

all read and write operations to the array. The default is 128.

all write operations to the array and all read operations if the array

is degraded. The default is 256. Valid values are 17 to 32768.

Increasing this number can increase performance in some situations, at

some cost in system memory.

This is only available on RAID5 and RAID6. This variable sets the

number of times MD will service a full-stripe-write before servicing a

stripe that requires some "prereading". For fairness this defaults to
