NFS chunk size for XBMC - qsummon - 2014-02-05
Hello
I'm planning to replace my server hard drives, so I will re-create the raid 5 array using mdmad (OS is OpenSuse Server edition, no GUI)
The existing array have a chunk size of 512 and works with no issuse for the last 7 years.
After reading several documents I'm looking for some suggestions of other users, if this is the right setting.
Thanks a lot in advance.

512k is the standard is is working fine for me.
For media files you could increase this value, but i'm not shure if the sequential performance increase will be noticeable.

Let it be the default value (512 is good). Changing this only makes sense if you are running databases (bigger chunk size -> more I/Os) or if storing smaller files and need quicker access (smaller chunk size -> more bandwith because it's parted on the disks).
