Running out of ideas as to what your issue might be :-)
Thanks for the reply.
Look at the raid card is:

LSI MegaSAS 9260

the issue that only allows me to do raid0, 1, 5 and 6 RAID10.
The other .. My storage has a capacity of 16 drives in raid1 2 are for the open-e system and I have raid5 array with 7 drives .. how rare such an arrangement of 7 discs I get the same performance as one with 3 disks.

and if I'm using Block I/O.
