Agreed.

Again.

Or it's just as likely they are laying out these image frames in a
specific manner across 128 directories, assuming 128 AGs exist, to
achieve some specific "on disk" organization of the files. It's simply
not possible to know without more information.
Interestingly, on a 14+2 RAID6 array of 7.2K drives, normally 128 AGs
will decrease parallel performance due to a huge increase in head seek
latency. Thus I'd assume this isn't a parallel workload. Either that
or Autodesk doesn't know XFS as well as they believe.
