Hi!

We will have a new RAID-System shipped the next weeks with a total
cpacity of 1.6 TB. I want to run XFS (what else?) on it and have some
config qeustions.
The RAID consists of 12 160GB IDE-Disks connected via SCSI to the host
computer. The host only sees one large SCSI disk.
I think that making just one partition on that disk and running a
mkfs.xfs without any special options will not produce optimal
performance.
Should I create a separate logfile partition on the RAID? How large
would it be? What are other options for mkfs.xfs that I should look
into?

Thanks for the answers. Any pointers to the FAQ are also appreciated.

Greetings
