- Sounds like you need to play with mkfs options on XFS. Can you send the output of xfs_info /mnt where /mnt is the mounted filesystem. Steve -- Steve Lord voice: +1-651-683-3511 Principal Engineer, Fi

- Here is the output from xfs_info, please excuse the formatting. I am using a chunk size of 4K in the raid. Larger sizes seem to degrade performance. Thanks for your help. With 14 disks in the array:
