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:

mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile4 DEVICE

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.
