Hello, been reading documents but still not sure what are best option to
use when creating xfs on my raid system. Raid card details below.
I have 2 raid 1 arrays which will have xfs partitions:
Array 1 55gb with 1 40gb xfs partition for /home
Array set as stripe 64kb block 512 bytes
Array 2 645gb 1 xfs partition using all space for file storage
Array set as stripe 128kb block 512 bytes
I have been looking at docs and come with following to create FS on 645gb
xfs partition.
mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=42 -l size=64m /dev/sde5
The default agcount= was 32 but am not 100% sure how to work this out for
correct number?
I would mount with following options:
mount -o logbufs=8,noatime,nodiratime
The other setting am not sure how to get right is this bit from docs: "XFS
allows you to select the stripe unit for a RAID device or stripe volume."
Now i know i need to set -d su= -d sw= but best to work this out for my
arrays?
The 645gb array/partition will be used for files 3mb to 250mb with most
being about 20/30mb
