ADIC 2.8 manual Metadata, one for journals, and one for data

Page 41

The StorNext Trashcan feature should only be enabled on UNIX

CAUTION platforms. Enabling the Trashcan in a mixed UNIX/Windows environment causes file system failures due to conflicts with the Windows Recycle Bin.

Do not select either the Enable Trashcan or Enable Data Migration options if the file system will be used as a storage disk.

2In the Add New File System screen, type valid values and click Next. The Disk Settings screen appears.

Block size field: The block size (in bytes) for the file system. The block size is the minimum unit of data that will be accessed from physical devices. The default value of 16384 bytes is the recommended setting for the best overall efficiency.

Stripe group field: The number of stripe groups for the file system. Selecting a value greater than one (1) enables customization to optimize performance and use StorNext features such as dedicated Metadata, Journal and User Data stripe groups.

Note

ADIC recommends that you specify at least three stripe groups: one for

metadata, one for journals, and one for data.
