Suppose I have a disk of 17Gb and want to select PE size, I can select 64Mb as well as 8MB, which is better and why? Apart from the smallest possible allocation size for a FS, is there any other advantage of using smaller PE size?
Thanks,

SolutionWith a smaller PE size, you run the risk of not being able to add larger disks to the volume group at a later date. I know of no performance penalty for using a large PE size and would suggest a middle of the road approach like 64MB.

Since I haven't used extent-based striping in years, I would suggest that you err on the side of larger PE's.
