At least get your stripe unit and width correct. http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_How_to_calculate_the_correct_sunit.2Cswidth_values_for_optimal_performance Beyond that I suggest you stick with the defaults unless you have a specific need. e.g. heavy usage of extended attributes might prompt you to use a larger inode size to keep them inline.
