Hi, I understand swidth should = #data disks. And the docs say for RAID 6 of 8 disks, that means 6. But parity is distributed and you actually have 8 disks/spindles working for you and a bit of parity on each. So shouldn't swidth equal disks in raid when its concerning distributed parity raid? - aurf _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
