I think it is a good idea to match the raid stripe size and give some
indication of how many disks are in the array. E.g:
For a 4 disk system with 256K stripe size I used:
$ mkfs.xfs -d su=256k,sw=2 /dev/mdx
which performed about 2-3 times quicker than the default (I did try sw=4
as well, but didn't notice any difference compared to sw=4).
