[PVE-User] software RAID in 4.2

[Miguel González]

Reads and in both, Proxmox and therefore in guest VMs.

As you can see in my messages writes seem to be more or less fine around
140 MB/s in Proxmox while reads are around 40 MB/s.

At this point I don´t know if there is something related to hardware or
software, I have raised a ticket with support.

Thanks!

Miguel
