Robin, MrD, Thanks for the info !
I now have XFS running on a RAID 0 array. For what it's worth, using the Debian installer to create all of the partitions resulted in the size of the fd partition on one disk being slightly off, so I used fdisk instead and specified the start/end blocks manually. Some of the options I used for XFS: "chunk=1024" when setting up the raid array in mdadm. When formatting the array, I used "-l size=64m" to create a 64 megabyte log, and when mounting "noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8" (the default number of log buffers is 2). With all of my three weeks of Linux experience.... XFS seems to work well on MD devices, and detected the necessary parameters automatically, so I did not have to worry about setting stripe unit and stripe width, etc. Here's a good article of tweaking XFS on linux: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1479435 Here's a good general article on XFS on Linux: http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=linux&db=bks&srch=&fname=/SGI_Admin/LX_XFS_AG/sgi_html/front.html Next, it's time to build my kernel (attempt number four).... -- DLloyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DLloyd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9063 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39281 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
