I do believe, for database applications, ie. random I/O, a smaller stripe size
is better.

I've researched adsm.org for this, but couldn't find a recommendation. Can
anyone recommend a stripe size (and any other relevant attributes) for SSA
RAID-10 for TSM disk storage pools? We're using 72GB drives.
Thanks.
