Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

The SGI XFS Filesystem
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
|
|
on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can
|
|
support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
|
|
variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
|
|
Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
|
|
and scalability.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the documentation at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
|
|
for further details. This implementation is on-disk compatible
|
|
with the IRIX version of XFS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mount Options
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted.
|
|
|
|
biosize=size
|
|
Sets the preferred buffered I/O size (default size is 64K).
|
|
"size" must be expressed as the logarithm (base2) of the
|
|
desired I/O size.
|
|
Valid values for this option are 14 through 16, inclusive
|
|
(i.e. 16K, 32K, and 64K bytes). On machines with a 4K
|
|
pagesize, 13 (8K bytes) is also a valid size.
|
|
The preferred buffered I/O size can also be altered on an
|
|
individual file basis using the ioctl(2) system call.
|
|
|
|
ikeep/noikeep
|
|
When inode clusters are emptied of inodes, keep them around
|
|
on the disk (ikeep) - this is the traditional XFS behaviour
|
|
and is still the default for now. Using the noikeep option,
|
|
inode clusters are returned to the free space pool.
|
|
|
|
logbufs=value
|
|
Set the number of in-memory log buffers. Valid numbers range
|
|
from 2-8 inclusive.
|
|
The default value is 8 buffers for filesystems with a
|
|
blocksize of 64K, 4 buffers for filesystems with a blocksize
|
|
of 32K, 3 buffers for filesystems with a blocksize of 16K
|
|
and 2 buffers for all other configurations. Increasing the
|
|
number of buffers may increase performance on some workloads
|
|
at the cost of the memory used for the additional log buffers
|
|
and their associated control structures.
|
|
|
|
logbsize=value
|
|
Set the size of each in-memory log buffer.
|
|
Size may be specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix.
|
|
Valid sizes for version 1 and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k) and
|
|
32768 (32k). Valid sizes for version 2 logs also include
|
|
65536 (64k), 131072 (128k) and 262144 (256k).
|
|
The default value for machines with more than 32MB of memory
|
|
is 32768, machines with less memory use 16384 by default.
|
|
|
|
logdev=device and rtdev=device
|
|
Use an external log (metadata journal) and/or real-time device.
|
|
An XFS filesystem has up to three parts: a data section, a log
|
|
section, and a real-time section. The real-time section is
|
|
optional, and the log section can be separate from the data
|
|
section or contained within it.
|
|
|
|
noalign
|
|
Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit boundaries.
|
|
|
|
noatime
|
|
Access timestamps are not updated when a file is read.
|
|
|
|
norecovery
|
|
The filesystem will be mounted without running log recovery.
|
|
If the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, it is likely to
|
|
be inconsistent when mounted in "norecovery" mode.
|
|
Some files or directories may not be accessible because of this.
|
|
Filesystems mounted "norecovery" must be mounted read-only or
|
|
the mount will fail.
|
|
|
|
nouuid
|
|
Don't check for double mounted file systems using the file system uuid.
|
|
This is useful to mount LVM snapshot volumes.
|
|
|
|
osyncisosync
|
|
Make O_SYNC writes implement true O_SYNC. WITHOUT this option,
|
|
Linux XFS behaves as if an "osyncisdsync" option is used,
|
|
which will make writes to files opened with the O_SYNC flag set
|
|
behave as if the O_DSYNC flag had been used instead.
|
|
This can result in better performance without compromising
|
|
data safety.
|
|
However if this option is not in effect, timestamp updates from
|
|
O_SYNC writes can be lost if the system crashes.
|
|
If timestamp updates are critical, use the osyncisosync option.
|
|
|
|
quota/usrquota/uqnoenforce
|
|
User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally)
|
|
enforced.
|
|
|
|
grpquota/gqnoenforce
|
|
Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
|
|
enforced.
|
|
|
|
sunit=value and swidth=value
|
|
Used to specify the stripe unit and width for a RAID device or
|
|
a stripe volume. "value" must be specified in 512-byte block
|
|
units.
|
|
If this option is not specified and the filesystem was made on
|
|
a stripe volume or the stripe width or unit were specified for
|
|
the RAID device at mkfs time, then the mount system call will
|
|
restore the value from the superblock. For filesystems that
|
|
are made directly on RAID devices, these options can be used
|
|
to override the information in the superblock if the underlying
|
|
disk layout changes after the filesystem has been created.
|
|
The "swidth" option is required if the "sunit" option has been
|
|
specified, and must be a multiple of the "sunit" value.
|
|
|
|
sysctls
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The following sysctls are available for the XFS filesystem:
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.stats_clear (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 1)
|
|
Setting this to "1" clears accumulated XFS statistics
|
|
in /proc/fs/xfs/stat. It then immediately resets to "0".
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.xfssyncd_centisecs (Min: 100 Default: 3000 Max: 720000)
|
|
The interval at which the xfssyncd thread flushes metadata
|
|
out to disk. This thread will flush log activity out, and
|
|
do some processing on unlinked inodes.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.xfsbufd_centisecs (Min: 50 Default: 100 Max: 3000)
|
|
The interval at which xfsbufd scans the dirty metadata buffers list.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.age_buffer_centisecs (Min: 100 Default: 1500 Max: 720000)
|
|
The age at which xfsbufd flushes dirty metadata buffers to disk.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.error_level (Min: 0 Default: 3 Max: 11)
|
|
A volume knob for error reporting when internal errors occur.
|
|
This will generate detailed messages & backtraces for filesystem
|
|
shutdowns, for example. Current threshold values are:
|
|
|
|
XFS_ERRLEVEL_OFF: 0
|
|
XFS_ERRLEVEL_LOW: 1
|
|
XFS_ERRLEVEL_HIGH: 5
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.panic_mask (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 127)
|
|
Causes certain error conditions to call BUG(). Value is a bitmask;
|
|
AND together the tags which represent errors which should cause panics:
|
|
|
|
XFS_NO_PTAG 0
|
|
XFS_PTAG_IFLUSH 0x00000001
|
|
XFS_PTAG_LOGRES 0x00000002
|
|
XFS_PTAG_AILDELETE 0x00000004
|
|
XFS_PTAG_ERROR_REPORT 0x00000008
|
|
XFS_PTAG_SHUTDOWN_CORRUPT 0x00000010
|
|
XFS_PTAG_SHUTDOWN_IOERROR 0x00000020
|
|
XFS_PTAG_SHUTDOWN_LOGERROR 0x00000040
|
|
|
|
This option is intended for debugging only.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.irix_symlink_mode (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 1)
|
|
Controls whether symlinks are created with mode 0777 (default)
|
|
or whether their mode is affected by the umask (irix mode).
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.irix_sgid_inherit (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 1)
|
|
Controls files created in SGID directories.
|
|
If the group ID of the new file does not match the effective group
|
|
ID or one of the supplementary group IDs of the parent dir, the
|
|
ISGID bit is cleared if the irix_sgid_inherit compatibility sysctl
|
|
is set.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.restrict_chown (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
|
|
Controls whether unprivileged users can use chown to "give away"
|
|
a file to another user.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.inherit_sync (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max 1)
|
|
Setting this to "1" will cause the "sync" flag set
|
|
by the chattr(1) command on a directory to be
|
|
inherited by files in that directory.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.inherit_nodump (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max 1)
|
|
Setting this to "1" will cause the "nodump" flag set
|
|
by the chattr(1) command on a directory to be
|
|
inherited by files in that directory.
|
|
|
|
fs.xfs.inherit_noatime (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max 1)
|
|
Setting this to "1" will cause the "noatime" flag set
|
|
by the chattr(1) command on a directory to be
|
|
inherited by files in that directory.
