For example if you have 4 drives in RAID5 and it is using 64K chunks and given a 4K file system block size. The stride size is calculated for the one disk by (chunk size / block size), (64K/4K) which gives 16. While the stripe width for RAID5 is 1 disk less, so we have 3 data-bearing disks out of the 4 in this RAID5 group, which gives us (number of data-bearing drives * stride size), (3*16) gives you a stripe width of 48.

When you create an ext3 partition in this manner, you would format it like this

mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -E stride=16 -E stripe-width=48 -O dir_index /dev/XXXX

Sadly, the 'stripe-width=' extended-option has disappeared from man mkfs.ext3 as of CentOS 5.3

The dir_index listed above is the last tweak mentioned here. The dir_index option allows ext3 to use hashed b-trees to speed up look ups in large directories. It's not a big gain, but it will help.

If it was a 4 disk RAID10 array, than it would be a stripe width of (16+16) = 32 as each pair of disks are mirrored effectively being 1 disk with redundancy should any one fail, then striped between the two RAID1 sets to make RAID10.
