How to check stripe size

Is there a way for me to check the stripe size on my Raid 0. I just set it up a couple of days ago, and thought it was interchangeable. Clearly, that isn't the case (I just read an article that stated such), so I would like to find out what mine is at, so I know whether to redo it before reloading all my programs.

Thanks
Dave

I read somewhere a few days ago that the strippimg size b\t 12 to 128 does not make that much of a difference .... I could be wrong

Usually when you computer boots up the raid driver should allow you to see the stripe size or the option to configure and you should be able to see the size. If you change stripe size you need to delete the array and then remake it. If you want to change you need to image your OS so you can put it back after you re partition your array. I haven't notice much difference in transfer speed between stripe sizes but my apps and loading time are fastest with a 128 stripe size.
