Ah, I remember the difference now, that's why I use su= and sw=. This
mix of different units is... irritating.
I corrected the FAQ now to use su+sw:
http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_How_to_calculate_the_correct_sunit.2Cswidth_values_for_optimal_performance
And I mentioned "swidth" and "sunit" in a sentence in the end.
I'd say using su+sw is more future proof than swidth+sunit, as 4K sector
drives will become standard, and then using 512B units will be outdated
anyway, right? And using su+sw seems simpler to me to explain. YMMV,
