It can be a combination of the following flags: - -.Superblock quota flags -[options="header"] -|===== -| Flag | Description -| +XFS_UQUOTA_ACCT+ | User quota accounting is enabled. -| +XFS_UQUOTA_ENFD+ | User quotas are enforced. -| +XFS_UQUOTA_CHKD+ | User quotas have been checked. -| +XFS_PQUOTA_ACCT+ | Project quota accounting is enabled. -| +XFS_OQUOTA_ENFD+ | Other (group/project) quotas are enforced. -| +XFS_OQUOTA_CHKD+ | Other (group/project) quotas have been checked. -| +XFS_GQUOTA_ACCT+ | Group quota accounting is enabled. -| +XFS_GQUOTA_ENFD+ | Group quotas are enforced. -| +XFS_GQUOTA_CHKD+ | Group quotas have been checked. -| +XFS_PQUOTA_ENFD+ | Project quotas are enforced. -| +XFS_PQUOTA_CHKD+ | Project quotas have been checked. -|===== - -*sb_flags*:: -Miscellaneous flags. - -.Superblock flags -[options="header"] -|===== -| Flag | Description -| +XFS_SBF_READONLY+ | Only read-only mounts allowed. -|===== - -*sb_shared_vn*:: -Reserved and must be zero (``vn'' stands for version number). - -*sb_inoalignmt*:: -Inode chunk alignment in fsblocks. Prior to v5, the default value provided for -inode chunks to have an 8KiB alignment. Starting with v5, the default value -scales with the multiple of the inode size over 256 bytes. Concretely, this -means an alignment of 16KiB for 512-byte inodes, 32KiB for 1024-byte inodes, -etc. If sparse inodes are enabled, the +ir_startino+ field of each inode -B+tree record must be aligned to this block granularity, even if the inode -given by +ir_startino+ itself is sparse. - -*sb_unit*:: -Underlying stripe or raid unit in blocks. - -*sb_width*:: -Underlying stripe or raid width in blocks. - -*sb_dirblklog*:: -log~2~ multiplier that determines the granularity of directory block allocations -in fsblocks. - -*sb_logsectlog*:: -log~2~ value of the log subvolume's sector size.

This only applies to version 2 logs -+XFS_SB_VERSION_LOGV2BIT+ is set in +sb_versionnum+. - -*sb_features2*:: -Additional version flags if +XFS_SB_VERSION_MOREBITSBIT+ is set in -+sb_versionnum+. The currently defined additional features include: - -.Extended Version 4 Superblock flags -[options="header"] -|===== -| Flag | Description -| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_LAZYSBCOUNTBIT+ | -Lazy global counters. Making a filesystem with this bit set can improve -performance. The global free space and inode counts are only updated in the -primary superblock when the filesystem is cleanly unmounted. - -| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_ATTR2BIT+ | -Extended attributes version 2. Making a filesystem with this optimises the -inode layout of extended attributes. If this bit is set and the +noattr2+ -mount flag is not specified, the +di_forkoff+ inode field will be dynamically -adjusted. See the section about xref:Extended_Attribute_Versions[extended -attribute versions] for more information. - -| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_PARENTBIT+ | -Parent pointers. All inodes must have an extended attribute that points back to -its parent inode. The primary purpose for this information is in backup systems. - -| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_PROJID32BIT+ | -32-bit Project ID. Inodes can be associated with a project ID number, which -can be used to enforce disk space usage quotas for a particular group of -directories. This flag indicates that project IDs can be 32 bits in size. - -| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_CRCBIT+ | -Metadata checksumming. All metadata blocks have an extended header containing -the block checksum, a copy of the metadata UUID, the log sequence number of the -last update to prevent stale replays, and a back pointer to the owner of the -block. This feature must be and can only be set if the lowest nibble of -+sb_versionnum+ is set to 5. - -| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_FTYPE+ | -Directory file type. Each directory entry records the type of the inode to -which the entry points. This speeds up directory iteration by removing the -need to load every inode into memory. -|===== - -*sb_bad_features2*:: -This field mirrors +sb_features2+, due to past 64-bit alignment errors. - -*sb_features_compat*:: -Read-write compatible feature flags. The kernel can still read and write this -FS even if it doesn't understand the flag. Currently, there are no valid -flags. - -*sb_features_ro_compat*:: -Read-only compatible feature flags. The kernel can still read this FS even if -it doesn't understand the flag. - -.Extended Version 5 Superblock Read-Only compatibility flags -[options="header"] -|===== -| Flag | Description -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_FINOBT+ | -Free inode B+tree. Each allocation group contains a B+tree to track inode chunks -containing free inodes. This is a performance optimization to reduce the time -required to allocate inodes. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_RMAPBT+ | -Reverse mapping B+tree. Each allocation group contains a B+tree containing -records mapping AG blocks to their owners. See the section about -xref:Reconstruction[reconstruction] for more details. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_REFLINK+ | -Reference count B+tree. Each allocation group contains a B+tree to track the -reference counts of AG blocks. This enables files to share data blocks safely. -See the section about xref:Reflink_Deduplication[reflink and deduplication] for -more details. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_INOBTCNT+ | -Inode B+tree block counters. Each allocation group's inode (AGI) header -tracks the number of blocks in each of the inode B+trees. This allows us -to have a slightly higher level of redundancy over the shape of the inode -btrees, and decreases the amount of time to compute the metadata B+tree -preallocations at mount time. - -|===== - -*sb_features_incompat*:: -Read-write incompatible feature flags. The kernel cannot read or write this -FS if it doesn't understand the flag. - -.Extended Version 5 Superblock Read-Write incompatibility flags -[options="header"] -|===== -| Flag | Description -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_FTYPE+ | -Directory file type. Each directory entry tracks the type of the inode to -which the entry points. This is a performance optimization to remove the need -to load every inode into memory to iterate a directory. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SPINODES+ | -Sparse inodes. This feature relaxes the requirement to allocate inodes in -chunks of 64. When the free space is heavily fragmented, there might exist -plenty of free space but not enough contiguous free space to allocate a new -inode chunk. With this feature, the user can continue to create files until -all free space is exhausted. - -Unused space in the inode B+tree records are used to track which parts of the -inode chunk are not inodes. - -See the chapter on xref:Sparse_Inodes[Sparse Inodes] for more information. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_META_UUID+ | -Metadata UUID. The UUID stamped into each metadata block must match the value -in +sb_meta_uuid+. This enables the administrator to change +sb_uuid+ at will -without having to rewrite the entire filesystem. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_BIGTIME+ | -Large timestamps. Inode timestamps and quota expiration timers are extended to -support times through the year 2486. See the section on -xref:Timestamps[timestamps] for more information. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_NEEDSREPAIR+ | -The filesystem is not in operable condition, and must be run through -xfs_repair before it can be mounted. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_NREXT64+ | -Large file fork extent counts. This greatly expands the maximum number of -space mappings allowed in data and extended attribute file forks. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_EXCHRANGE+ | -Atomic file mapping exchanges. The filesystem is capable of exchanging a range -of mappings between two arbitrary ranges of a file's fork by using log intent -items to track the progress of the high level exchange operation. In other -words, the exchange operation can be restarted if the system goes down, which -is necessary for userspace to commit of new file contents atomically. This -flag has user-visible impacts, which is why it is a permanent incompat flag. -See the section about xref:XMI_Log_Item[mapping exchange log intents] for more -information. - -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_PARENT+ | -Directory parent pointers. See the section about xref:Parent_Pointers[parent -pointers] for more information. - -|===== - -*sb_features_log_incompat*:: -Read-write incompatible feature flags for the log. The kernel cannot recover -the FS log if it doesn't understand the flag. - -.Extended Version 5 Superblock Log incompatibility flags -[options="header"] -|===== -| Flag | Description -| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_LOG_XATTRS+ | -Extended attribute updates have been committed to the ondisk log. - -|===== - -*sb_crc*:: -Superblock checksum. - -*sb_spino_align*:: -Sparse inode alignment, in fsblocks.

This +also brings in the various quota fields in the superblock. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_ALIGNBIT+ | Set if sb_inoalignmt is used. +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_DALIGNBIT+ | Set if sb_unit and sb_width are used. +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_SHAREDBIT+ | Set if sb_shared_vn is used. +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_LOGV2BIT+ | Version 2 journaling logs are used. +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_SECTORBIT+ | Set if sb_sectsize is not 512. +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_EXTFLGBIT+ | Unwritten extents are used. This is always set. +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_DIRV2BIT+ | +Version 2 directories are used. This is always set. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION_MOREBITSBIT+ | +Set if the sb_features2 field in the superblock contains more flags. +|===== + +If the lower nibble of this value is 5, then this is a v5 filesystem; the ++XFS_SB_VERSION2_CRCBIT+ feature must be set in +sb_features2+. + +*sb_sectsize*:: +Specifies the underlying disk sector size in bytes. Typically this is 512 or +4096 bytes. This determines the minimum I/O alignment, especially for direct I/O. + +*sb_inodesize*:: +Size of the inode in bytes. The default is 256 (2 inodes per standard sector) +but can be made as large as 2048 bytes when creating the filesystem. On a v5 +filesystem, the default and minimum inode size are both 512 bytes. + +*sb_inopblock*:: +Number of inodes per block. This is equivalent to +sb_blocksize / sb_inodesize+. + +*sb_fname[12]*:: +Name for the filesystem. This value can be used in the mount command. + +*sb_blocklog*:: +log~2~ value of +sb_blocksize+. In other terms, +sb_blocksize = 2^sb_blocklog^+. + +*sb_sectlog*:: +log~2~ value of +sb_sectsize+. + +*sb_inodelog*:: +log~2~ value of +sb_inodesize+. + +*sb_inopblog*:: +log~2~ value of +sb_inopblock+. + +*sb_agblklog*:: +log~2~ value of +sb_agblocks+ (rounded up). This value is used to generate inode +numbers and absolute block numbers defined in extent maps. + +*sb_rextslog*:: +log~2~ value of +sb_rextents+. + +*sb_inprogress*:: +Flag specifying that the filesystem is being created. + +*sb_imax_pct*:: +Maximum percentage of filesystem space that can be used for inodes. The default +value is 5%. + +*sb_icount*:: +Global count for number inodes allocated on the filesystem. This is only +maintained in the first superblock. + +*sb_ifree*:: +Global count of free inodes on the filesystem. This is only maintained in the +first superblock. + +*sb_fdblocks*:: +Global count of free data blocks on the filesystem. This is only maintained in +the first superblock. + +*sb_frextents*:: +Global count of free real-time extents on the filesystem. This is only +maintained in the first superblock. + +*sb_uquotino*:: +Inode for user quotas. This and the following two quota fields only apply if ++XFS_SB_VERSION_QUOTABIT+ flag is set in +sb_versionnum+. Refer to +xref:Quota_Inodes[quota inodes] for more information. + +*sb_gquotino*:: +Inode for group or project quotas. Group and project quotas cannot be used at +the same time on v4 filesystems. On a v5 filesystem, this inode always stores +group quota information. + +*sb_qflags*:: +Quota flags. It can be a combination of the following flags: + +.Superblock quota flags +[options="header"] +|===== +| Flag | Description +| +XFS_UQUOTA_ACCT+ | User quota accounting is enabled. +| +XFS_UQUOTA_ENFD+ | User quotas are enforced. +| +XFS_UQUOTA_CHKD+ | User quotas have been checked. +| +XFS_PQUOTA_ACCT+ | Project quota accounting is enabled. +| +XFS_OQUOTA_ENFD+ | Other (group/project) quotas are enforced. +| +XFS_OQUOTA_CHKD+ | Other (group/project) quotas have been checked. +| +XFS_GQUOTA_ACCT+ | Group quota accounting is enabled. +| +XFS_GQUOTA_ENFD+ | Group quotas are enforced. +| +XFS_GQUOTA_CHKD+ | Group quotas have been checked. +| +XFS_PQUOTA_ENFD+ | Project quotas are enforced. +| +XFS_PQUOTA_CHKD+ | Project quotas have been checked. +|===== + +*sb_flags*:: +Miscellaneous flags. + +.Superblock flags +[options="header"] +|===== +| Flag | Description +| +XFS_SBF_READONLY+ | Only read-only mounts allowed. +|===== + +*sb_shared_vn*:: +Reserved and must be zero (``vn'' stands for version number). + +*sb_inoalignmt*:: +Inode chunk alignment in fsblocks. Prior to v5, the default value provided for +inode chunks to have an 8KiB alignment. Starting with v5, the default value +scales with the multiple of the inode size over 256 bytes. Concretely, this +means an alignment of 16KiB for 512-byte inodes, 32KiB for 1024-byte inodes, +etc. If sparse inodes are enabled, the +ir_startino+ field of each inode +B+tree record must be aligned to this block granularity, even if the inode +given by +ir_startino+ itself is sparse. + +*sb_unit*:: +Underlying stripe or raid unit in blocks. + +*sb_width*:: +Underlying stripe or raid width in blocks. + +*sb_dirblklog*:: +log~2~ multiplier that determines the granularity of directory block allocations +in fsblocks. + +*sb_logsectlog*:: +log~2~ value of the log subvolume's sector size. This is only used if the +journaling log is on a separate disk device (i.e. not internal). + +*sb_logsectsize*:: +The log's sector size in bytes if the filesystem uses an external log device. + +*sb_logsunit*:: +The log device's stripe or raid unit size. This only applies to version 2 logs ++XFS_SB_VERSION_LOGV2BIT+ is set in +sb_versionnum+. + +*sb_features2*:: +Additional version flags if +XFS_SB_VERSION_MOREBITSBIT+ is set in ++sb_versionnum+. The currently defined additional features include: + +.Extended Version 4 Superblock flags +[options="header"] +|===== +| Flag | Description +| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_LAZYSBCOUNTBIT+ | +Lazy global counters. Making a filesystem with this bit set can improve +performance. The global free space and inode counts are only updated in the +primary superblock when the filesystem is cleanly unmounted. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_ATTR2BIT+ | +Extended attributes version 2. Making a filesystem with this optimises the +inode layout of extended attributes. If this bit is set and the +noattr2+ +mount flag is not specified, the +di_forkoff+ inode field will be dynamically +adjusted. See the section about xref:Extended_Attribute_Versions[extended +attribute versions] for more information. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_PARENTBIT+ | +Parent pointers. All inodes must have an extended attribute that points back to +its parent inode. The primary purpose for this information is in backup systems. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_PROJID32BIT+ | +32-bit Project ID. Inodes can be associated with a project ID number, which +can be used to enforce disk space usage quotas for a particular group of +directories. This flag indicates that project IDs can be 32 bits in size. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_CRCBIT+ | +Metadata checksumming. All metadata blocks have an extended header containing +the block checksum, a copy of the metadata UUID, the log sequence number of the +last update to prevent stale replays, and a back pointer to the owner of the +block. This feature must be and can only be set if the lowest nibble of ++sb_versionnum+ is set to 5. + +| +XFS_SB_VERSION2_FTYPE+ | +Directory file type. Each directory entry records the type of the inode to +which the entry points. This speeds up directory iteration by removing the +need to load every inode into memory. +|===== + +*sb_bad_features2*:: +This field mirrors +sb_features2+, due to past 64-bit alignment errors. + +*sb_features_compat*:: +Read-write compatible feature flags. The kernel can still read and write this +FS even if it doesn't understand the flag. Currently, there are no valid +flags. + +*sb_features_ro_compat*:: +Read-only compatible feature flags. The kernel can still read this FS even if +it doesn't understand the flag. + +.Extended Version 5 Superblock Read-Only compatibility flags +[options="header"] +|===== +| Flag | Description +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_FINOBT+ | +Free inode B+tree. Each allocation group contains a B+tree to track inode chunks +containing free inodes. This is a performance optimization to reduce the time +required to allocate inodes. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_RMAPBT+ | +Reverse mapping B+tree. Each allocation group contains a B+tree containing +records mapping AG blocks to their owners. See the section about +xref:Reconstruction[reconstruction] for more details. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_REFLINK+ | +Reference count B+tree. Each allocation group contains a B+tree to track the +reference counts of AG blocks. This enables files to share data blocks safely. +See the section about xref:Reflink_Deduplication[reflink and deduplication] for +more details. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_INOBTCNT+ | +Inode B+tree block counters. Each allocation group's inode (AGI) header +tracks the number of blocks in each of the inode B+trees. This allows us +to have a slightly higher level of redundancy over the shape of the inode +btrees, and decreases the amount of time to compute the metadata B+tree +preallocations at mount time. + +|===== + +*sb_features_incompat*:: +Read-write incompatible feature flags. The kernel cannot read or write this +FS if it doesn't understand the flag. + +.Extended Version 5 Superblock Read-Write incompatibility flags +[options="header"] +|===== +| Flag | Description +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_FTYPE+ | +Directory file type. Each directory entry tracks the type of the inode to +which the entry points. This is a performance optimization to remove the need +to load every inode into memory to iterate a directory. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_SPINODES+ | +Sparse inodes. This feature relaxes the requirement to allocate inodes in +chunks of 64. When the free space is heavily fragmented, there might exist +plenty of free space but not enough contiguous free space to allocate a new +inode chunk. With this feature, the user can continue to create files until +all free space is exhausted. + +Unused space in the inode B+tree records are used to track which parts of the +inode chunk are not inodes. + +See the chapter on xref:Sparse_Inodes[Sparse Inodes] for more information. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_META_UUID+ | +Metadata UUID. The UUID stamped into each metadata block must match the value +in +sb_meta_uuid+. This enables the administrator to change +sb_uuid+ at will +without having to rewrite the entire filesystem. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_BIGTIME+ | +Large timestamps. Inode timestamps and quota expiration timers are extended to +support times through the year 2486. See the section on +xref:Timestamps[timestamps] for more information. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_NEEDSREPAIR+ | +The filesystem is not in operable condition, and must be run through +xfs_repair before it can be mounted. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_NREXT64+ | +Large file fork extent counts. This greatly expands the maximum number of +space mappings allowed in data and extended attribute file forks. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_EXCHRANGE+ | +Atomic file mapping exchanges. The filesystem is capable of exchanging a range +of mappings between two arbitrary ranges of a file's fork by using log intent +items to track the progress of the high level exchange operation. In other +words, the exchange operation can be restarted if the system goes down, which +is necessary for userspace to commit of new file contents atomically. This +flag has user-visible impacts, which is why it is a permanent incompat flag. +See the section about xref:XMI_Log_Item[mapping exchange log intents] for more +information. + +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_PARENT+ | +Directory parent pointers. See the section about xref:Parent_Pointers[parent +pointers] for more information. + +|===== + +*sb_features_log_incompat*:: +Read-write incompatible feature flags for the log. The kernel cannot recover +the FS log if it doesn't understand the flag. + +.Extended Version 5 Superblock Log incompatibility flags +[options="header"] +|===== +| Flag | Description +| +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_LOG_XATTRS+ | +Extended attribute updates have been committed to the ondisk log. + +|===== + +*sb_crc*:: +Superblock checksum. + +*sb_spino_align*:: +Sparse inode alignment, in fsblocks. Each chunk of inodes referenced by a +sparse inode B+tree record must be aligned to this block granularity. + +*sb_pquotino*:: +Project quota inode. + +*sb_lsn*:: +Log sequence number of the last superblock update. + +*sb_meta_uuid*:: +If the +XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_META_UUID+ feature is set, then the UUID field in +all metadata blocks must match this UUID. If not, the block header UUID field +must match +sb_uuid+. + +*sb_rrmapino*:: +If the +XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_RMAPBT+ feature is set and a real-time +device is present (+sb_rblocks+ > 0), this field points to an inode +that contains the root to the +xref:Real_time_Reverse_Mapping_Btree[Real-Time Reverse Mapping B+tree]. +This field is zero otherwise. + +=== xfs_db Superblock Example + +A filesystem is made on a single disk with the following command: + +---- +# mkfs.xfs -i attr=2 -n size=16384 -f /dev/sda7 +meta-data=/dev/sda7 isize=256 agcount=16, agsize=3923122 blks + = sectsz=512 attr=2 +data = bsize=4096 blocks=62769952, imaxpct=25 + = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=1 +naming =version 2 bsize=16384 +log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=30649, version=1 + = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks +realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0 +---- + +And in xfs_db, inspecting the superblock: + +---- +xfs_db> sb +xfs_db> p +magicnum = 0x58465342 +blocksize = 4096 +dblocks = 62769952 +rblocks = 0 +rextents = 0 +uuid = 32b24036-6931-45b4-b68c-cd5e7d9a1ca5 +logstart = 33554436 +rootino = 128 +rbmino = 129 +rsumino = 130 +rextsize = 16 +agblocks = 3923122 +agcount = 16 +rbmblocks = 0 +logblocks = 30649 +versionnum = 0xb084 +sectsize = 512 +inodesize = 256 +inopblock = 16 +fname = "\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000" +blocklog = 12 +sectlog = 9 +inodelog = 8 +inopblog = 4 +agblklog = 22 +rextslog = 0 +inprogress = 0 +imax_pct = 25 +icount = 64 +ifree = 61 +fdblocks = 62739235 +frextents = 0 +uquotino = 0 +gquotino = 0 +qflags = 0 +flags = 0 +shared_vn = 0 +inoalignmt = 2 +unit = 0 +width = 0 +dirblklog = 2 +logsectlog = 0 +logsectsize = 0 +logsunit = 0 +features2 = 8 +----
