From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Rather than reference mount(8) to see xfs specific mount options, document them directly in the xfs(5) man page in this package. That way it is easy to update XFS mount options when the change.

Using the noikeep option, +inode clusters are returned to the free space pool. +.TP +.B inode64 +Indicates that XFS is allowed to create inodes at any location +in the filesystem, including those which will result in inode +numbers occupying more than 32 bits of significance. This is +provided for backwards compatibility, but causes problems for +backup applications that cannot handle large inode numbers. +.TP +.BR largeio | nolargeio +If +.B nolargeio +is specified, the optimal I/O reported in +st_blksize by +.BR stat (2) +will be as small as possible to allow user +applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write I/O. +If +.B largeio +is specified, a filesystem that has a +.B swidth +specified +will return the +.B swidth +value (in bytes) in st_blksize. If the +filesystem does not have a +.B swidth +specified but does specify +an +.B allocsize +then +.B allocsize +(in bytes) will be returned +instead. +If neither of these two options are specified, then filesystem +will behave as if +.B nolargeio +was specified. +.TP +.BI logbufs= value +Set the number of in-memory log buffers. Valid numbers range +from 2-8 inclusive. +The default value is 8 buffers for any recent kernel. +.TP +.BI logbsize= value +Set the size of each in-memory log buffer. +Size may be specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix. +Valid sizes for version 1 and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k) and +32768 (32k). Valid sizes for version 2 logs also include +65536 (64k), 131072 (128k) and 262144 (256k). +The default value for any recent kernel is 32768. +.TP +\fBlogdev=\fP\fIdevice\fP and \fBrtdev=\fP\fIdevice\fP +Use an external log (metadata journal) and/or real-time device. +An XFS filesystem has up to three parts: a data section, a log section, +and a real-time section. +The real-time section is optional, and the log section can be separate +from the data section or contained within it. +Refer to +.BR xfs (5). +.TP +.BI mtpt= mountpoint +Use with the +.B dmapi +option. The value specified here will be +included in the DMAPI mount event, and should be the path of +the actual mountpoint that is used. +.TP +.B noalign +Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit boundaries. +.TP +.B noatime +Access timestamps are not updated when a file is read. +.TP +.B norecovery +The filesystem will be mounted without running log recovery. +If the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, it is likely to +be inconsistent when mounted in +.B norecovery +mode. +Some files or directories may not be accessible because of this. +Filesystems mounted +.B norecovery +must be mounted read-only or the mount will fail. +.TP +.B nouuid +Don't check for double mounted filesystems using the filesystem uuid. +This is useful to mount LVM snapshot volumes. +.TP +.B osyncisosync +Make O_SYNC writes implement true O_SYNC. WITHOUT this option, +Linux XFS behaves as if an +.B osyncisdsync +option is used, +which will make writes to files opened with the O_SYNC flag set +behave as if the O_DSYNC flag had been used instead. +This can result in better performance without compromising +data safety. +However if this option is not in effect, timestamp updates from +O_SYNC writes can be lost if the system crashes. +If timestamp updates are critical, use the +.B osyncisosync +option. +.TP +.BR uquota | usrquota | uqnoenforce | quota +User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally) +enforced. Refer to +.BR xfs_quota (8) +for further details. +.TP +.BR gquota | grpquota | gqnoenforce +Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally) +enforced.

If a value +of zero is used, the value selected by the default algorithm +will be displayed in +.IR /proc/mounts . .SH SEE ALSO .BR xfsctl (3), .BR mount (8), -- 1.7.10.4 _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
