Yes, and we've been discussing whether they should be made the default in the upcoming 3.2.3 release or wait for 3.3. IIRC, the latest SLES release already defaults to using CRCs by default. > root@unison:~/xfsprogs# mkfs.xfs /dev/sda > meta-data=/dev/sda isize=256 agcount=55, > agsize=268435455 blks > = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1 > = crc=0 finobt=0 > data = bsize=4096 blocks=14627632640, imaxpct=1 > = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks > naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 ftype=0 > log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=521728, version=2 > = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 > realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 > > But they are there, and I am curious as to the developers/users > thoughts. Will they break things (nfs, CIFS/samba)? I enable them on all my systems, and almost all of my testing is done with "-m crc=1,finobt=1" options set. The don't affect applications at all - CRCs are completely transparent to userspace so applications don't even know the filesystem is using them.
