Hey all - Darrick's done a great job with landing the xfs_scrub code in upstream kernel v4.15, and now merged on the for-next branch of xfsprogs to be released in xfsprogs-4.15.0. As with any big new body of code, there might be some rough edges despite best efforts. It'd be great to have people do some testing at this semi-early stage. The 10,000ft overview is that the new xfs_scrub command can /validate/ a lot of what's on disk while the filesystem is mounted; and the ability to repair will come in the future. For now, with the 4.15 kernel, functionality is limited to "scrubbing" meaning that it will simply check for consistency; in 4.15 there is no facility to repair or optimize/preen the filesystem. I'd really value feedback on scrub as it stand at this point - Is the documentation clear? Is the output correct? Do the tool's arguments make sense? Does it segfault? Does it find real errors? Does it crash your kernel? Does it eat your data? (haha no it won't eat your data) ((haha no can't promise that with 100% certainty)) Thanks, -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
