I am seeing very bad performance of "rm" on this file system. Of course
I know that RAID-6 is kind of a worst case setup for that workload. But
I was hoping that aligning the log correctly plus increasing the stripe
size would help. Wouldn't the file system write more of the log at once
with a bigger sunit size; resulting in fewer RMW cycles?

I am already using delaylog, inode64, nobarrier to mount the fs;
lazy-count=1.

Maybe moving to an external log would be the best option?

tia,
Michael
