Vanilla kernel.org 3.2.6: ~$ cat /proc/mounts /dev/sda7 /samba xfs rw,relatime,attr2,delaylog,noquota 0 0 It doesn't show the default logbufs and logbsize values. I asked about this specific issue over a year ago, because the documentation is inconsistent, and you can't get the default values out of a running system. If you can I don't know how. If someone stated a method, I can't recall it. :( I do recall Dave, IIRC, saying something to the effect of 'just use the defaults, as they are 8 and 256K in recent kernels anyway'. That's not a direct quote, but my recollection. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
