Hi,

I'm going to set up a new 1.7 TB HW Raid 5 next week.
RAID 5 contains 11 disks, Stripe Unit should be (according to the manual)
128k.
so my mkfs.xfs options will be sunit=256, swidth=2560 for the data section, won't they?

I will definitly use internal log, so I'd like to ask, if I should use
logversion 2, and what sunit and swidth values I should use here?
I guess the same as for the data section???

Would I gain something from logversion 2?

thx
Christian
