Hi The ext4 workaround for wrong-but-common truncate/rename cases can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Delayed_allocation_and_potential_data_loss This is the default "auto_da_alloc" mount option. There is no mention of similar workaround in XFS FAQ at http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ nor Wiki article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS I suggest adding such a section. I have read the thread at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.xfs.general/53366 There seems to be definite answer at the top of http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.xfs.general/53376 But besides that I found http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/812588 where it's mentioned that /--/ The bigger problem from my perspective is that XFS is only doing this for the truncate case, and (from what I've been told) not for the rename case. /--/ I'd like to know the current state of ext4 auto_da_alloc-like workarounds in XFS, particularly for RHEL7. Considering the two cases in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Delayed_allocation_and_potential_data_loss is XFS behaving the same as ext4, both mounted with default options? thanks, -- Vallo _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
