[PATCH] mkfs.xfs: allow specification of 0 data stripe width & unit

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

 



The "noalign" option works for this too, but it seems reasonable
to allow explicit specification of stripe unit and stripe width
to 0; today, doing so today makes the code think it's unspecified,
and so it goes ahead and detects stripe geometry and sets it in the
superblock.  That's unexpected and surprising.

Create a new flag that tracks whtether a geometry option has been
specified, and if it's set along with 0 values, treat it the
same as if "noalign" had been specified.

I suppose another option would be to disallow 0 values; that
would eliminate the flag and the extra logic and could be handled
in all of the value-checking code that exists.  I'm ok either
way, although 0 has been accepted up until now, so it might
be best to not change that.
