Another strange thing:

I now started a "dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k".
For the first seconds(!), it did nothing, I thought it would hang.
Then it started, but it's reading in a strange way:

Very many I/Os and very slow KB/s. What could cause that?
lv readahead is 1536 sectors, that's 128KB per data disk (a 7 disk RAID-5) and should be OK.
