Hi,
In the next few weeks I will be building a linux server with a large
(1.2TB) raid array. There will be two 3ware 7850 cards (running
hardware raid5) and a software raid0 across these two cards. I plan to
benchmark three different filesystems (ext3, reiser and xfs) to
determine which performs the best. The main thing I am interested in is
sequential i/o with large files and I've heard that xfs should be the
best choice for this. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for
mkfs.xfs or mount options to maximize performance in this situation.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Andy
