'man xfs_repair' says that "The default size is set to use up the remainder of 75% of the system's physical RAM size" which seems pretty good to me. You may want to increase the '-o ihash' value too, or '-m'. Also check the '-P' option. BTW I just noticed in the same 'man xfs_repair' the option that "can significantly reduce repair times on concat based filesystems" which is so amusing... _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
