1) Creating FS:
mkfs.xfs -l internal,size=128m -d agcount=2 –d unwritten=0 /dev/hda1

2) Mount options:
mount -o noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8

Unless you have a reason not to, I always say start with the defaults until proven otherwise.

Why would you want to turn off unwritten extents, or limit the agcount?

Hello Eric,

Thanks for your response.
Actually these options largely taken from "XFS on steroids" topic from gentoo forums

I want to optimize FS for maximum performance (it's not a production box). What are your suggestions?

Regards,
Leon
