Hi folks,

When creating ext2 filesystems upon hardware raid arrays, it is traditional
to pass the "stride" parameter to mke2fs so that it can magically optimise
the filesystem layout for the array's chunksize/stridesize.

How, if at all, does lvm interfere with this magic? Can any lvm parameters
be tuned to take advantage of arrays?

Thanks,
Wesley.
