 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.
 For boolean mount options, the names with the (*) suffix is the
 default behaviour.

   allocsize=size
 	Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when
 	doing delayed allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB).
 	Valid values for this option are page size (typically 4KiB)
 	through to 1GiB, inclusive, in power-of-2 increments.

 	The default behaviour is for dynamic end-of-file
 	preallocation size, which uses a set of heuristics to
 	optimise the preallocation size based on the current
 	allocation patterns within the file and the access patterns
 	to the file. Specifying a fixed allocsize value turns off
 	the dynamic behaviour.

   attr2
   noattr2
 	The options enable/disable an "opportunistic" improvement to
 	be made in the way inline extended attributes are stored
 	on-disk.  When the new form is used for the first time when
 	attr2 is selected (either when setting or removing extended
 	attributes) the on-disk superblock feature bit field will be
 	updated to reflect this format being in use.

 	The default behaviour is determined by the on-disk feature
 	bit indicating that attr2 behaviour is active. If either
 	mount option it set, then that becomes the new default used
 	by the filesystem.

 	CRC enabled filesystems always use the attr2 format, and so
 	will reject the noattr2 mount option if it is set.

   barrier (*)
   nobarrier
 	Enables/disables the use of block layer write barriers for
 	writes into the journal and for data integrity operations.
 	This allows for drive level write caching to be enabled, for
 	devices that support write barriers.

   discard
   nodiscard (*)
 	Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block
 	device reclaim space freed by the filesystem.  This is
 	useful for SSD devices, thinly provisioned LUNs and virtual
 	machine images, but may have a performance impact.

 	Note: It is currently recommended that you use the fstrim
 	application to discard unused blocks rather than the discard
 	mount option because the performance impact of this option
 	is quite severe.

   grpid/bsdgroups
   nogrpid/sysvgroups (*)
 	These options define what group ID a newly created file
 	gets.  When grpid is set, it takes the group ID of the
 	directory in which it is created; otherwise it takes the
 	fsgid of the current process, unless the directory has the
 	setgid bit set, in which case it takes the gid from the
 	parent directory, and also gets the setgid bit set if it is
 	a directory itself.

   filestreams
 	Make the data allocator use the filestreams allocation mode
 	across the entire filesystem rather than just on directories
 	configured to use it.

   ikeep
   noikeep (*)
 	When ikeep is specified, XFS does not delete empty inode
 	clusters and keeps them around on disk.  When noikeep is
 	specified, empty inode clusters are returned to the free
 	space pool.

   inode32
   inode64 (*)
 	When inode32 is specified, it indicates that XFS limits
 	inode creation to locations which will not result in inode
 	numbers with more than 32 bits of significance.

 	When inode64 is specified, it indicates that XFS is allowed
 	to create inodes at any location in the filesystem,
 	including those which will result in inode numbers occupying
 	more than 32 bits of significance.

 	inode32 is provided for backwards compatibility with older
 	systems and applications, since 64 bits inode numbers might
 	cause problems for some applications that cannot handle
 	large inode numbers.  If applications are in use which do
 	not handle inode numbers bigger than 32 bits, the inode32
 	option should be specified.


   largeio
   nolargeio (*)
 	If "nolargeio" is specified, the optimal I/O reported in
 	st_blksize by stat(2) will be as small as possible to allow
 	user applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write
 	I/O.  This is typically the page size of the machine, as
 	this is the granularity of the page cache.

 	If "largeio" specified, a filesystem that was created with a
 	"swidth" specified will return the "swidth" value (in bytes)
 	in st_blksize. If the filesystem does not have a "swidth"
 	specified but does specify an "allocsize" then "allocsize"
 	(in bytes) will be returned instead. Otherwise the behaviour
 	is the same as if "nolargeio" was specified.

   logbufs=value
 	Set the number of in-memory log buffers.  Valid numbers
 	range from 2-8 inclusive.

 	The default value is 8 buffers.

 	If the memory cost of 8 log buffers is too high on small
 	systems, then it may be reduced at some cost to performance
 	on metadata intensive workloads. The logbsize option below
 	controls the size of each buffer and so is also relevant to
 	this case.

   logbsize=value
 	Set the size of each in-memory log buffer.  The 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
 	logbsize must be an integer multiple of the log
 	stripe unit configured at mkfs time.

 	The default value for for version 1 logs is 32768, while the
 	default value for version 2 logs is MAX(32768, log_sunit).

   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. This is only relevant to filesystems created
 	with non-zero data alignment parameters (sunit, swidth) by
 	mkfs.

   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,
 	and often used in combination with "norecovery" for mounting
 	read-only snapshots.

   noquota
 	Forcibly turns off all quota accounting and enforcement
 	within the filesystem.

   uquota/usrquota/uqnoenforce/quota
 	User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally)
 	enforced.  Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

   gquota/grpquota/gqnoenforce
 	Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
 	enforced.  Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

   pquota/prjquota/pqnoenforce
 	Project disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
 	enforced.  Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

   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. These options are only relevant to filesystems
 	that were created with non-zero data alignment parameters.

 	The sunit and swidth parameters specified must be compatible
 	with the existing filesystem alignment characteristics.  In
 	general, that means the only valid changes to sunit are
 	increasing it by a power-of-2 multiple. Valid swidth values
 	are any integer multiple of a valid sunit value.

 	Typically the only time these mount options are necessary if
 	after an underlying RAID device has had it's geometry
 	modified, such as adding a new disk to a RAID5 lun and
 	reshaping it.

   swalloc
 	Data allocations will be rounded up to stripe width boundaries
 	when the current end of file is being extended and the file
 	size is larger than the stripe width size.

   wsync
 	When specified, all filesystem namespace operations are
 	executed synchronously. This ensures that when the namespace
 	operation (create, unlink, etc) completes, the change to the
 	namespace is on stable storage. This is useful in HA setups
 	where failover must not result in clients seeing
 	inconsistent namespace presentation during or after a
 	failover event.


 Deprecated Mount Options
 ========================

   delaylog/nodelaylog
 	Delayed logging is the only logging method that XFS supports
 	now, so these mount options are now ignored.

 	Due for removal in 3.12.

   ihashsize=value
 	In memory inode hashes have been removed, so this option has
 	no function as of August 2007. Option is deprecated.

 	Due for removal in 3.12.

   irixsgid
 	This behaviour is now controlled by a sysctl, so the mount
 	option is ignored.

 	Due for removal in 3.12.

   osyncisdsync
   osyncisosync
 	O_SYNC and O_DSYNC are fully supported, so there is no need
 	for these options any more.

 	Due for removal in 3.12.

 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 filesystem flushes metadata
 	out to disk and runs internal cache cleanup routines.

   fs.xfs.filestream_centisecs	(Min: 1  Default: 3000  Max: 360000)
 	The interval at which the filesystem ages filestreams cache
 	references and returns timed-out AGs back to the free stream
 	pool.

   fs.xfs.speculative_prealloc_lifetime
 		(Units: seconds   Min: 1  Default: 300  Max: 86400)
 	The interval at which the background scanning for inodes
 	with unused speculative preallocation runs. The scan
 	removes unused preallocation from clean inodes and releases
 	the unused space back to the free pool.

   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: 255)
 	Causes certain error conditions to call BUG(). Value is a bitmask;
 	OR 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_FSBLOCK_ZERO           0x00000080

 	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.inherit_sync		(Min: 0  Default: 1  Max: 1)
 	Setting this to "1" will cause the "sync" flag set
 	by the xfs_io(8) chattr 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 xfs_io(8) chattr 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 xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
 	inherited by files in that directory.

   fs.xfs.inherit_nosymlinks	(Min: 0  Default: 1  Max: 1)
 	Setting this to "1" will cause the "nosymlinks" flag set
 	by the xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
 	inherited by files in that directory.

   fs.xfs.inherit_nodefrag	(Min: 0  Default: 1  Max: 1)
 	Setting this to "1" will cause the "nodefrag" flag set
 	by the xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
 	inherited by files in that directory.

   fs.xfs.rotorstep		(Min: 1  Default: 1  Max: 256)
 	In "inode32" allocation mode, this option determines how many
 	files the allocator attempts to allocate in the same allocation
 	group before moving to the next allocation group.  The intent
 	is to control the rate at which the allocator moves between
 	allocation groups when allocating extents for new files.

 Deprecated Sysctls
 ==================

   fs.xfs.xfsbufd_centisecs	(Min: 50  Default: 100	Max: 3000)
 	Dirty metadata is now tracked by the log subsystem and
 	flushing is driven by log space and idling demands. The
 	xfsbufd no longer exists, so this syctl does nothing.

 	Due for removal in 3.14.

   fs.xfs.age_buffer_centisecs	(Min: 100  Default: 1500  Max: 720000)
 	Dirty metadata is now tracked by the log subsystem and
 	flushing is driven by log space and idling demands. The
 	xfsbufd no longer exists, so this syctl does nothing.

	Mount Options
	=============

	When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted.
	For boolean mount options, the names with the (*) suffix is the
	default behaviour.

	allocsize=size
	Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when
	doing delayed allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB).
	Valid values for this option are page size (typically 4KiB)
	through to 1GiB, inclusive, in power-of-2 increments.

	The default behaviour is for dynamic end-of-file
	preallocation size, which uses a set of heuristics to
	optimise the preallocation size based on the current
	allocation patterns within the file and the access patterns
	to the file. Specifying a fixed allocsize value turns off
	the dynamic behaviour.

	attr2
	noattr2
	The options enable/disable an "opportunistic" improvement to
	be made in the way inline extended attributes are stored
	on-disk. When the new form is used for the first time when
	attr2 is selected (either when setting or removing extended
	attributes) the on-disk superblock feature bit field will be
	updated to reflect this format being in use.

	The default behaviour is determined by the on-disk feature
	bit indicating that attr2 behaviour is active. If either
	mount option it set, then that becomes the new default used
	by the filesystem.

	CRC enabled filesystems always use the attr2 format, and so
	will reject the noattr2 mount option if it is set.

	barrier (*)
	nobarrier
	Enables/disables the use of block layer write barriers for
	writes into the journal and for data integrity operations.
	This allows for drive level write caching to be enabled, for
	devices that support write barriers.

	discard
	nodiscard (*)
	Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block
	device reclaim space freed by the filesystem. This is
	useful for SSD devices, thinly provisioned LUNs and virtual
	machine images, but may have a performance impact.

	Note: It is currently recommended that you use the fstrim
	application to discard unused blocks rather than the discard
	mount option because the performance impact of this option
	is quite severe.

	grpid/bsdgroups
	nogrpid/sysvgroups (*)
	These options define what group ID a newly created file
	gets. When grpid is set, it takes the group ID of the
	directory in which it is created; otherwise it takes the
	fsgid of the current process, unless the directory has the
	setgid bit set, in which case it takes the gid from the
	parent directory, and also gets the setgid bit set if it is
	a directory itself.

	filestreams
	Make the data allocator use the filestreams allocation mode
	across the entire filesystem rather than just on directories
	configured to use it.

	ikeep
	noikeep (*)
	When ikeep is specified, XFS does not delete empty inode
	clusters and keeps them around on disk. When noikeep is
	specified, empty inode clusters are returned to the free
	space pool.

	inode32
	inode64 (*)
	When inode32 is specified, it indicates that XFS limits
	inode creation to locations which will not result in inode
	numbers with more than 32 bits of significance.

	When inode64 is specified, it indicates that XFS is allowed
	to create inodes at any location in the filesystem,
	including those which will result in inode numbers occupying
	more than 32 bits of significance.

	inode32 is provided for backwards compatibility with older
	systems and applications, since 64 bits inode numbers might
	cause problems for some applications that cannot handle
	large inode numbers. If applications are in use which do
	not handle inode numbers bigger than 32 bits, the inode32
	option should be specified.


	largeio
	nolargeio (*)
	If "nolargeio" is specified, the optimal I/O reported in
	st_blksize by stat(2) will be as small as possible to allow
	user applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write
	I/O. This is typically the page size of the machine, as
	this is the granularity of the page cache.

	If "largeio" specified, a filesystem that was created with a
	"swidth" specified will return the "swidth" value (in bytes)
	in st_blksize. If the filesystem does not have a "swidth"
	specified but does specify an "allocsize" then "allocsize"
	(in bytes) will be returned instead. Otherwise the behaviour
	is the same as if "nolargeio" was specified.

	logbufs=value
	Set the number of in-memory log buffers. Valid numbers
	range from 2-8 inclusive.

	The default value is 8 buffers.

	If the memory cost of 8 log buffers is too high on small
	systems, then it may be reduced at some cost to performance
	on metadata intensive workloads. The logbsize option below
	controls the size of each buffer and so is also relevant to
	this case.

	logbsize=value
	Set the size of each in-memory log buffer. The 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
	logbsize must be an integer multiple of the log
	stripe unit configured at mkfs time.

	The default value for for version 1 logs is 32768, while the
	default value for version 2 logs is MAX(32768, log_sunit).

	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. This is only relevant to filesystems created
	with non-zero data alignment parameters (sunit, swidth) by
	mkfs.

	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,
	and often used in combination with "norecovery" for mounting
	read-only snapshots.

	noquota
	Forcibly turns off all quota accounting and enforcement
	within the filesystem.

	uquota/usrquota/uqnoenforce/quota
	User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally)
	enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

	gquota/grpquota/gqnoenforce
	Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
	enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

	pquota/prjquota/pqnoenforce
	Project disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
	enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.

	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. These options are only relevant to filesystems
	that were created with non-zero data alignment parameters.

	The sunit and swidth parameters specified must be compatible
	with the existing filesystem alignment characteristics. In
	general, that means the only valid changes to sunit are
	increasing it by a power-of-2 multiple. Valid swidth values
	are any integer multiple of a valid sunit value.

	Typically the only time these mount options are necessary if
	after an underlying RAID device has had it's geometry
	modified, such as adding a new disk to a RAID5 lun and
	reshaping it.

	swalloc
	Data allocations will be rounded up to stripe width boundaries
	when the current end of file is being extended and the file
	size is larger than the stripe width size.

	wsync
	When specified, all filesystem namespace operations are
	executed synchronously. This ensures that when the namespace
	operation (create, unlink, etc) completes, the change to the
	namespace is on stable storage. This is useful in HA setups
	where failover must not result in clients seeing
	inconsistent namespace presentation during or after a
	failover event.

	XFS_PTAG_FSBLOCK_ZERO 0x00000080

	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.inherit_sync (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
	Setting this to "1" will cause the "sync" flag set
	by the xfs_io(8) chattr 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 xfs_io(8) chattr 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 xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
	inherited by files in that directory.

	fs.xfs.inherit_nosymlinks (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
	Setting this to "1" will cause the "nosymlinks" flag set
	by the xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
	inherited by files in that directory.

	fs.xfs.inherit_nodefrag (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
	Setting this to "1" will cause the "nodefrag" flag set
	by the xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
	inherited by files in that directory.

	fs.xfs.rotorstep (Min: 1 Default: 1 Max: 256)
	In "inode32" allocation mode, this option determines how many
	files the allocator attempts to allocate in the same allocation
	group before moving to the next allocation group. The intent
	is to control the rate at which the allocator moves between
	allocation groups when allocating extents for new files.

	Deprecated Sysctls
	==================

	fs.xfs.xfsbufd_centisecs (Min: 50 Default: 100 Max: 3000)
	Dirty metadata is now tracked by the log subsystem and
	flushing is driven by log space and idling demands. The
	xfsbufd no longer exists, so this syctl does nothing.

	Due for removal in 3.14.

	fs.xfs.age_buffer_centisecs (Min: 100 Default: 1500 Max: 720000)
	Dirty metadata is now tracked by the log subsystem and
	flushing is driven by log space and idling demands. The
	xfsbufd no longer exists, so this syctl does nothing.

	Due for removal in 3.14.
