Hello,
thanks for replying. Indeed I did not distinguish between log and data
stripe set - as I did not know, those can be treated independendly.
The docs I have all talking about log stripe size, I was just under the
impression, those set the overall limit.
Thanks again

Hello,
having found different values, as of Kernel 5.10, what is the maximum allowed size in K for stripe units?
I came across limits from 64k - 256k
Where did you read that?
, but the documentation always seemed quite aged.
Current mkfs limits are UINT_MAX for stripe unit and stripe width (so width is the effective limiter in most cases)
Interestingly, in the kernel the limit on swidth is INT_MAX. In any case, quite large.
(However, the /log/ stripe unit has a limit of 256; if the data stripe unit is larger, the log stripe unit will automatically be reduced.)

Thanks
