I've a 1TB filesystem and have divided into four 250GB partitions, what mkfs.xfs options are most suitable for this file server with users' Maildir in it? I realized putting metadata log on other device will reduce the number of disk seeks, but how about the log size (sector/block/byte)? How to calculate the agcount for a 250GB partition? (of cause I don't want agcount/agsize to crew up my CPU.) Thanks in advance and any comments/suggestions are highly appreciated.
