The man tune2fs and man mkfs.ext4 state:
stride=stride-size
...
This mostly affects placement of filesystem metadata like bit‐maps at mke2fs(2) time to avoid placing them on a single disk, which can hurt the performance.
My question: Given an ext4-filesystem that was created without the stride option, will tune2fs -E stride=X have any effect on the placement of metadata as mentioned in the man pages?
