Thanks! Although now I'll have to get around to learning awk so I can
understand that. ;-)

XFS, no special mkfs options, noatime,nodiratime mount options.

I haven't tried tweaking these yet. Are they likely to change which
chunksize performs best? I was thinking I'd figure out a chunksize,
and then look at other performance tweaks. But I'm worried that I
might later find out a different chunksize would have been better,
and chunksize is much harder to change than read-ahead.
$ blockdev --getra /dev/md1

$ cat /sys/block/md1/md/stripe_cache_size
