Hi,
Apologies in advance as I imagine this issue is raised frequently, but can someone familiar with these sorts of things sanity check my stripe unit/width settings since the underlying storage controller is not exposing the data to mkfs.xfs apparently:
12 disk raid6
256k stripe
su=256k
sw=10
…which I believe is equivalent to:
sunit=512
swidth=5120
Is that correct?
Also, does the inode64 option make sense for a filesystem with only a few files, each around ~100G?
And finally, are 'allocsize=1GB,nobarrier,noatime,nodiratime' recommended mount options?
Thanks,
Peter
