RAID5 internal log question

[Mihai RUSU <dizzy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

>From the XFS FAQ and other threads on this list I understand that is
recommended to have the log of an XFS partition out of a RAID5. Is that
performance impact that bad also with hardware RAID ?
Because its rather strange to make that external log reside out of the
RAID with hardware RAID (I have to reboot and use the BIOS configuration
tool to setup another logical device which should not be RAID5 just only
for the XFS log).

Thanks
