We are using Suse SLES 9 SP2 (soon to upgrade to SP3) for a DB2 database
platform on an AMD64 dual cpu server. Each server has two 256GB
partitions mounted from a clariion storage array. The clariion luns are
each a RAID 5 array with 64KByte stripe units x 4 data disks for a
256KByte stripe width. The xfs filesystems look like
# xfs_info /dev/emcpowera1

I think we will adjust sunit setting on logs to match the sunit setting
of the rest of the filesystem.
Those numbers indicate that they're right. Numbers reported there are
in 4kb blocks, not 512 byte blocks. 4*16=64, 4*16*4=256.
The other thing to check would be to make sure that your partition
begins on stripe alignment. parted 1.7 and up should be able to split
partitions on block sizes rather that the supid sector crap that fdisk
does. Make sure that you're using 1.7 and up, though.
