Hi, folks, Recently I have been working on a small project which requires data blocks of each file to be aligned to 512KB/1MB boundary for performance reason. As far as I know, this can be accomplished by setting the stripe unit on XFS or enabling the "bigalloc" feature on EXT4. However, the "bigalloc" feature has not yet been stated to be stable in the latest release. So, this makes me wondering if I can achieve this block allocation alignment by setting the stride-size on EXT4. The document of mke2fs only says that this value may be used by the block allocator, so I am not quite sure what it can offer for me in this case. Any help would be appreciated.
