Typical implementation of RAID-0. Perform a spindle lock
on the all the disks to be stripped and basically tie
the heads together. Correct me I am wrong. I think that's
how RAID-0 works. If the controller has a large write
back cache, it might offset the effect.
Squid access is very random, a large percentage
of time for disk access will be spent on seeks instead
of read/write data. Since, the head are already tied
together when you stripped it, independent access
to different location of disks can't be performed.
