Can someone please explain what the purpose of stride is on ext3? I have been "googling" this for hours and wasn't really able to understand the underlying concepts. How does it fit with LVM, PV create's metablock size, and hardware RAID controller?
TIA

This thread should shed some light on the stride for you. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-January/073959.html
I don't think it was ever addressed how LVM fits into this during that thread though.
