Hm, 65536KB sounds like 64MB... Anyway, mkfs.xfs picks up the queue's minimum IO size for sunit, and optimal io size for swidth. So: blkid # blockdev --getiomin --getioopt /dev/md0 (which here returns: 512 0 here) will show you what your raid's queue is actually reporting, and what mkfs.xfs will pick up. -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
