questions regarding file-system optimization for sortware-RAID array
...se chunk size of 64KiB, then I have to use
"stride" value of 16(16*4096=65536). Why is it important for file-system to
know the size of chunk used in RAID array? I know it improves the I/O
performance, but why is this so?
2) If the "stride" size in my case is 16, then the "stripe_width=" is 32
because there are two drives in the array which contain the actual data.
Manual page of the mke2fs explain this option as "This allows the block
allocator to prevent read-modify-write of the parity in a RAID stripe if
possible when the data is written.". How to understand thi...

SSD Optimizations
I''m looking to try BTRFS on a SSD, and I would like to know what SSD
optimizations it applies. Is there a comprehensive list of what ssd
mount option does? How are the blocks and metadata arranged? Are there
options available comparable to ext2/ext3 to help reduce wear and
improve performance?
Specifically, on ext2 (journal means more writes, so I don''t use ext3 on
SSDs,
