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

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Break out the xfs geometry ioctl into a separate manpage so that we can
document how it works.

+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_ATTR2
+Filesystem contains V2 extended attributes.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_PROJID32
+Project IDs can be as large as 2^32.
+If this flag is not set, the filesystem supports only 2^16 project IDs.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_DIRV2CI
+Case-insensitive lookups are supported on directories.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_LAZYSB
+On-disk superblock counters are updated only at unmount time.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_V5SB
+Metadata blocks are self describing and contain checksums.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_FTYPE
+Directories contain inode types in directory entries.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_FINOBT
+Filesystem maintains an index of free inodes.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_SPINODES
+Filesystem may allocate discontiguous inode chunks when free space is
+fragmented.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_RMAPBT
+Filesystem stores reverse mappings of blocks to owners.
+.TP
+.B XFS_FSOP_GEOM_FLAGS_REFLINK
+Filesystem supports sharing blocks between files.
+.RE
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.PP
+.SH ERRORS
+Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+The kernel was not able to copy into the userspace buffer.
+.TP
+.B EFSBADCRC
+Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EFSCORRUPTED
+Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EIO
+An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.
