Re: U320 Large Array Performance

["Rick Smith" <rgsmith72@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,
	After examining the output of the xfs_bmap that I sent you it looks like 
each file has a different allocation group for the 15 disk case. With 14 
disks (73GB each) there are 240 allocation groups when I build the 
filesystem and I get 257 allocation groups when I use 15 disks. Could there 
be an issue when exceeding 256 allocation groups that affects the mapping of 
files to allocation groups?
