Hi Richard! > > mkfs.xfs -i size=512 -d su=stripe_size,sw=28 -L Backup_2 /dev/sdX1 > This suggests that you plan to create partitions like /dev/sdX1 on the RAID-6. If you really do (which is not a good idea IMHO because it buys you nothing) you will have to be extra-careful to not mess up the stripe alignment. I think the better option is to create the XFS directly on /dev/sdX without partitions. cheers, Michael _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
