Subject: XFS and sector size on thin volumes
Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2017 00:11:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d95f09118ee6cb2fe0562ad35303715c@assyoma.it> (raw)

Hi all,
I noticed that, when using both LVM thin volumes and ZVOLs, mkfs.xfs 
default to using 512-byte sector size.

Would setting sector size to 4K be benefical for filesystem performance?

 From what I know, sector size only affect journal and metadata writes. 
So, should I manually set sector size to 4K or it is not worth the 
(minor) inconvenience?

Thanks.
