I'm just starting to setup software raid on a system. I'm wondering about formatting the partition with reiserfs, instead of ext2fs. I see there are some options I can pass to mke2fs that will allow it to better allocate files; something like: mke2fs -b 4096 -R stride=8 /dev/md0 Where the raid chunk size is 32k, and the filesystem block size is 4k (stride is 32k/4k=8) Anyone have success with doing this? Anyone know of similar options to pass to a similar mkreiserfs program? I haven't yet looked, but I assume there are some tools for formatting a drive with reiserFS, presumably noted in the 2.4 kernel documenation. Thoughts anyone? Thanks, Cory
