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 complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible
|
|
with the IRIX version of XFS.
|
|
|
|
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called xfs. Be aware, however, that if the file
|
|
system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
|
|
to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.

config XFS_SUPPORT_V4

|
|
The V4 filesystem format lacks certain features that are supported
|
|
by the V5 format, such as metadata checksumming, strengthened
|
|
metadata verification, and the ability to store timestamps past the
|
|
year 2038. Because of this, the V4 format is deprecated. All users
|
|
should upgrade by backing up their files, reformatting, and restoring
|
|
from the backup.
|
|
|
|
Administrators and users can detect a V4 filesystem by running
|
|
xfs_info against a filesystem mountpoint and checking for a string
|
|
beginning with "crc=". If the string "crc=0" is found, the
|
|
filesystem is a V4 filesystem. If no such string is found, please
|
|
upgrade xfsprogs to the latest version and try again.
|
|
|
|
This option will become default N in September 2025. Support for the
|
|
V4 format will be removed entirely in September 2030. Distributors
|
|
can say N here to withdraw support earlier.
|
|
|
|
To continue supporting the old V4 format (crc=0), say Y.
|
|
To close off an attack surface, say N.

select QUOTACTL

|
help
|
|
If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on
|
|
a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS. XFS considers quota
|
|
information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
|
|
higher level guarantee of consistency. The on-disk data format for
|
|
quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
|
|
filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
|
|
for conversion.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N. More comprehensive documentation can be found in
|
|
README.quota in the xfsprogs package. XFS quota can be used either
|
|
with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) -
|
|
they are completely independent subsystems.

|
|
depends on XFS_FS
|
|
help
|
|
If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
|
|
which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a
|
|
separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. It was
|
|
originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
|
|
for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
|
|
mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
|
|
separated. Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
|
|
from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
|
|
to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.
|
|
|
|
See the xfs man page in section 5 for additional information.
|
|
|

If you say Y here you will be able to check metadata on a

filesystem downtime by supplementing xfs_repair. The key

advantage here is to look for problems proactively so that
|

they can be dealt with in a controlled manner.

This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL. Use with caution!

If you say Y here you will be able to repair metadata on a

parent pointers.

Say Y here to get an XFS build with many additional warnings.
|
|
It converts ASSERT checks to WARN, so will log any out-of-bounds
|
|
conditions that occur that would otherwise be missed. It is much
|
|
lighter weight than XFS_DEBUG and does not modify algorithms and will
|
|
not cause the kernel to panic on non-fatal errors.
|
|
|
|
However, similar to XFS_DEBUG, it is only advisable to use this if you
|
|
are debugging a particular problem.

Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably

not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.

This behavior can be modified at runtime via sysfs.
