Add configurable raid chunk size #48

Closed stickz closed 1 year ago

stickz commented 2 years ago

@asciiprod My previous PR was too specific and could not be configured. I have created a new pull request. This PR allows the user to configure the raid chunk size of their /home partition. It will work on any raid level except for 1 which doesn't have chunk sizes. The user can choose one of the following values: < 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 | 1024 | 2048 >. The default is 512KB.

This pull request is inspired by the fact I'm storing large files on my Hetzner SX series dedicated root server. I want to be able to configure the raid chunk size to optimize hard-disk performance for this situation. The default 512KB chunk size is not optimal.

Thank you for the new PR, but it is still too specific because the chunksize is only applied to the array mounted at /home. Unfortunately installimage is not really built to support setting such things per array or mountpoint. In general such things are better handled in a post-install script.
