With all due respect, this is excessive knob-twiddling. Slow down. ;)
* V2 logs are default already, so -l version=2 is redundant.
* noatime implies nodiratime, so specifying both is redundant.
* "largeio" only changes the st_blksize value reported (from default page size to, in your case, the total stripe width). Does that actually affect your application behavior?
Backing up, what kernel & what userspace versions are you testing?
