Hello all,

I have yesterday after some typos, sent my ext3 RAID5 array to the
void...

I want to recreate it now, but I read on
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Disk_Optimization
that you can optimize the filesystem on top of the RAID.

Will this wiki article be exactly the same for XFS?

Is it worth the trouble to also create an LVM volume on the RAID array?


Regards,
Coert
