====== SnapRAID - Parity - Format the parity file-system ======

To get more space for the parity, it is recommended to format the parity file-system with the **-m 0 -T largefile4** options:

<code bash>
mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile4 DEVICE
</code>

**NOTE:** On a 8 TB disk you can save about 400 GB. 

  * This is also expected to be as fast as the default, if not faster.
