XFS works reasonably well for all ordinary things with the defaults (under the assumption that you are using a reasonably up-to-date version of xfsprogs i.e. mkfs.xfs) and you shouldn't fiddle with them unless you have very good reasons doing so. Considering your current load on the server it shouldn't matter at all and staying with the defaults is also a good way to ensure people will be able to reproduce problems and help you in case you run into problems. Just my 2cents cheers, Michael _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
