This seems suboptimal. Basically this is a 750G thin volume. I don't have a plain partition on a device handy to try this out but I'm pretty certain the default is 4 AG's in that case, so I'm confused why by default 33 AGs are created on a thin volume. The LVM volume group is on a dmcrypt PV. xfsprogs-4.15.1-1.fc28.x86_64 lvm2-2.02.177-5.fc28.x86_64 kernel-4.17.11-200.fc28.x86_64 [chris@f28s ~]$ sudo lvdisplay 4vg/nukeit --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/4vg/nukeit LV Name nukeit VG Name 4vg LV UUID T21akN-RZeV-CfpZ-br70-6A1e-IkFI-VYOhNj LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time f28s.local, 2018-07-31 19:28:21 -0600 LV Pool name 4pool LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 750.00 GiB Mapped size 0.00% Current LE 192000 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:10 [chris@f28s ~]$ sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/4vg-nukeit meta-data=/dev/mapper/4vg-nukeit isize=512 agcount=33, agsize=6143872 blks = sectsz=4096 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=1 finobt=1, sparse=0, rmapbt=0, reflink=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=196608000, imaxpct=25 = sunit=128 swidth=1024 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 ftype=1 log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=96000, version=2 = sectsz=4096 sunit=1 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 [chris@f28s ~]$ -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
