Description Kyle Squizzato 2012-02-13 20:36:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Gluster documentation needs a best practices section that states when the user formats new bricks with XFS they should use an inode size of 512.  A note should be added before Chapter 9. Setting Up GlusterFS Server Volumes

Additional info:
When formatting a new brick, the user can create the filesystem with a inode size of 512 using the following command: 

 # mkfs.xfs -i size=512

This is the default behavior with Red Hat Storage release. Do we still need to document it?
Comment 2 Divya 2012-06-25 11:04:35 UTC 
Updated documentation on inode size and it is available at: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/2.0/html/Administration_Guide/chap-User_Guide-Setting_Volumes.html#id2641622
