Overview
An XFS filesystem is created with mkfs.xfs.
Journal Recovery is done in kernel space at mount time. An fsck.xfs command exists, but it does not perform any useful action. If the journal needs repairing, unmount and mount the filesystem
Metadata Error Behavior. When an unrecoverable metadata error is encountered, the filesystem will be shut down.
Resize. The filesystem can be extended while online with xfs_growfs. It cannot be shrunk.
Speculative allocation. XFS uses speculative preallocation to allocate blocks past EOF as files are written. This avoids file fragmentation due to concurrent streaming writes on NFS servers. This temporarily increases the size of the file, but if the preallocated space is not used for five minutes, the preallocation will be discarded. Because of this, fragmentation is rarely a significant issue on XFS filesystems.
Mounting an XFS fileystem in /etc/fstab:
/dev/vdb1 /support-nfs-storage xfs defaults 0 0
