64bit inodes and IA32 apps over NFS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

is there any workaround for NFSv4 when exporting XFS with 64bit inodes?

IA32 apps receives:
getdents(3, 0xb7571008, 1000)           = -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large for defined data type)

when compiling on x86_64, I got not error.

>From the XFS man page:
By default, with 32bit inodes, XFS places inodes only in the first 1TB of
a disk. If you have a disk with 100TB, all inodes will be stuck in the first
TB. This can lead to strange things like "disk full" when you still have
plenty space free, but there's no more place in the first TB to create a new
inode. Also, performance sucks.

To come around this, use the inode64 mount options for filesystems >1TB.
Inodes will then be placed in the location where their data is, minimizing
disk seeks.

Beware that some old programs might have problems reading 64bit inodes,
especially over NFS.


So, is there any workaround in NFS for IA32 apps?
