StorNext File System and Storage Manager Installation Guide 31
2 In 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.
CAUTION
The StorNext Trashcan feature should only be enabled on UNIX
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.
Note
ADIC recommends that you specify at least three stripe groups: one for
metadata, one for journals, and one for data.
