Linux ext4 fs tuning

There is only 3 values affecting mostly affecting io perfomance.
noatime – don`t store file access time
Nodiratime – don`t store disk access time

And turn off journal!
tune2fs -O has_journal -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sdaX
or
data=writeback

my fstab

/dev/md/2 / ext4 noatime,nodiratime 0 0

But thereis no magic… if your have serious io problems – this will not help you. Tuning can give up to 10% perfomance.
usually less.
