Hello,

Given (what I imagine to be) the fairly common scenario of using an
md device as a PV for LVM and then using multiple LVs from that:

a) is there any benefit to altering the LV's extent size to match
   the RAID stripe size?

b) is there any point in using the -E stride= option of mke2fs to
   match up with the RAID stripe size?

Thanks,
Andy
