- Does xfs_fsr react in any way to the sunit and swidth attributes of the file system? In other words, with an XFS filesytem set up directly on a hardware RAID, it is recommended that the mount command

- Not directly. The mount option does nothing if sunit/swidth weren't specified at mkfs time. sunit/swidth affect the initial layout of the filesystem, and that cannot be altered after the fact. Hence

- No, manually remounting with new stripe alignment and then running xfs_fsr is not going to magically reorganize your filesystem. This recommendation (as well as most things storage related) is worklo
