I'm quite sure it's mentioned in the archives, I think it has to do with the way FFS does the layout, using a non-power-of-two stripe size should spread the layout more cleanly across the disks. It probably should be mentioned in the manpage, it's quite temping for newbies and experienced users to use a power of two. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
