I have created a RAID5 array with five SATA disks, then I create LVM on this array. #pvcreate /dev/md0 #vgcreate myvg /dev/md0 #lvcreate -n mylv myvg As you see, I want to use XFS or ReiserFS on "mylv" volume. I wonder if there are some alignment settings when creating such file systems so that a better R/W performance can be achieved. Thx in advance. -- The simplest is not all best but the best is surely the simplest!
