Setting it to very large values will improve

barrier=1 This enables/disables barriers. barrier=0 disables
it, barrier=1 enables it.
barrier=<0|1(*)> This enables/disables the use of write barriers in
the jbd code. barrier=0 disables, barrier=1 enables.
This also requires an IO stack which can support
barriers, and if jbd gets an error on a barrier
write, it will disable again with a warning.
Write barriers enforce proper on-disk ordering
of journal commits, making volatile disk write caches
safe to use, at some performance penalty. If
your disks are battery-backed in one way or another,
disabling barriers may safely improve performance.
orlov (*) This enables the new Orlov block allocator. It is
enabled by default.
