I've read the man page for mkfs.xfs, but I couldn't find out if using mkfs -d su=64k,sw=2 would be a redundant (and superior) option for that? I'd guess so, reading the description of sunit: sunit=value This is used to specify the stripe unit for a RAID device or a logical volume. The value has to be specified in 512-byte block units. Use the su suboption to specify the stripe unit size in bytes. This suboption ensures that data allocations will be stripe unit aligned when the current end of file is being extended and the file size is larger than 512KiB. Also inode allocations and the internal log will be stripe unit aligned. Or would I still need to use size=64k? -- mit freundlichen Grüssen, Michael Monnerie, Ing.
