Some years ago I found this old but still usefull guide for xfs performance tweaking on linux:

Filesystem performance tweaking with XFS on Linux

which is, esencially, a two-steps simple procedure:

  1. Create xfs filesystem with a 64 megabyte log
    # mkfs.xfs -f -l size=64m /dev/hda3
  2. Mount filesystem with 8 log buffers, and atime and diratime disabled
    # mount -o noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8 /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo/

These simple tweaks do help! specially on large RAID partitions.

- Corrections, comments, and suggestions are always welcome -
