I'm guessing at resource group, but this only seems adjustable in 1MB increments, which is a bit large.

I don't see any reason why we'd need to restrict them to 1M intervals though, so I suspect that is entirely down to a decision made by the author of mkfs and there is no reason why that couldn't be relaxed in the future, Steve. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
