Hello, I would like to know if it makes any sense to specify sunit & swidth parameters as mount options to XFS filesystems sitting on a Linux software RAID-1 array, as advertised here [1] or there [2

Justin Piszcz a dit: mkfs.xfs will auto-optimize for software-raid arrays for the most part, with HW raid on a 3ware controller, tweaking mkfs.xfs does not help very much. with SW raid, at least for

XFS then knows that 512 byte (aka sector) alignment is sufficient, as RAID-1 will only write 512b to each disk and does not need full stripe unit writes like RAID-4/5/6 need. Therefore performance is
