And I have to say, a slightly strange one at first glance. Agreed. > It'd be nice if they said what they were trying to accomplish rather than just giving you a long recipe. Again. > In the end, I think they are trying to create 128AGs and maybe work around some mkfs corner case or other. Or it's just as likely they are laying out these image frames in a specific manner across 128 directories, assuming 128 AGs exist, to achieve some specific "on disk" organization of the files. It's simply not possible to know without more information. Interestingly, on a 14+2 RAID6 array of 7.2K drives, normally 128 AGs will decrease parallel performance due to a huge increase in head seek latency. Thus I'd assume this isn't a parallel workload. Either that or Autodesk doesn't know XFS as well as they believe. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
