[rhelv6-list] XFS tuning

We have a need for a 24TB filesystem, I am using the SL xfsprogs
package with kmod included in RHEL6.1.  The xfs.org FAQ states the
following tip:

"Q: I want to tune my XFS filesystems for <something>

The standard answer you will get to this question is this: use the defaults..."

Does anyone have any tips that go against this?  We will be using this
as an disk device for staging to tape, so it will be a lot of files of
very varying sizes, most files should be read sequentially, but there
will be reads and writes coming off the file-system at the same time
so i might actually look pretty random...

Thank you!
