RAID-5 and Chunk Size, What Filesystem to Use?: msg#00150

Subject: RAID-5 and Chunk Size, What Filesystem to Use?

I've been reading the Jakob Oostergard article...and it's amazing how easy
this can be, however I may have been typing too fast....

I have 3 SCSI that are 36GB each and I created my raidtab to look like the
following:

raid-level 5
chunk-size 128
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
nr-raid-disks 3
device /dev/sda
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sda
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdb
raid-disk 2
device /dev/sdc

my question is (are)
1. is 128 ok for the chunk size?
2. if it's not ok, do I just stop the raid-device and re-do my raidtab file
and then re-do my mkraid /dev/md0 command?
3. what filesystem do you recommend? All I'm using this server for is file
sharing with SAMBA...

thanks in advance....
