Or use su and sw to specify the size in k, m, etc. Ah, I remember the difference now, that's why I use su= and sw=. This mix of different units is... irritating. I corrected the FAQ now to use su+sw: http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_How_to_calculate_the_correct_sunit.2Cswidth_values_for_optimal_performance And I mentioned "swidth" and "sunit" in a sentence in the end. I'd say using su+sw is more future proof than swidth+sunit, as 4K sector drives will become standard, and then using 512B units will be outdated anyway, right? And using su+sw seems simpler to me to explain. YMMV, -- mit freundlichen Grüssen, Michael Monnerie, Ing.
