Introduction to XFS

The XFS file system is a journaling file system developed by SGI which works particularly well for large files systems. The XFS package contains various utilities for managing XFS partitions.

Dependencies

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/ --sbindir=/sbin \
    --bindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
    --includedir=/usr/include --mandir=/usr/share/man \
    --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package:

make install install-dev

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/ --sbindir=/sbin \
    --bindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package:

make install install-dev

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/ --sbindir=/sbin \
    --bindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/lib32 --libexecdir=/usr/lib32 --includedir=/usr/include \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package:

make install install-dev

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/ --sbindir=/sbin \
    --bindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/lib64 --includedir=/usr/include \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package:

make install install-dev

Contents

Installed Programs: fsck.xfs, mkfs.xfs, xfs_admin, xfs_bmap, xfs_check, xfs_copy, xfs_db, xfs_freeze, xfs_growfs, xfs_info, xfs_io, xfs_logprint, xfs_mkfile, xfs_ncheck, xfs_repair, and xfs_rtcp
Installed Libraries: libhandle.{so,a}
Installed Directory: /usr/share/doc/xfsprogs

Short Descriptions

fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero status, since XFS partitions are checked at mount time.
mkfs.xfs constructs an XFS file system.
xfs_admin changes the parameters of an XFS file system.
xfs_bmap prints block mapping for an XFS file.
xfs_check checks XFS file system consistency.
xfs_copy copies the contents of an XFS file system to one or more targets in parallel.
xfs_db is used to debug an XFS file system.
xfs_freeze suspends access to an XFS file system.
xfs_growfs expands an XFS file system.
xfs_info is equivalent to invoking xfs_growfs, but specifying that no change to the file system is to be made.
xfs_io is a debugging tool like xfs_db, but is aimed at examining the regular file I/O path rather than the raw XFS volume itself.
xfs_logprint prints the log of an XFS file system.
xfs_mkfile creates an XFS file, padded with zeroes by default.
xfs_ncheck generates pathnames from inode numbers for an XFS file system.
xfs_quota is a utility for reporting and editing various aspects of filesystem quota.
xfs_repair repairs corrupt or damaged XFS file systems.
xfs_rtcp copies a file to the real-time partition on an XFS file system.
libhandle.so contains functions to map filesystem handles to a corresponding open file descriptor for that filesystem.
