Installation of XFS

Install XFS by running the following commands:

sed -i -e 's/autoconf//' Makefile &&
make &&
make install

XFS contains 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.

Description

fsck.xfs

fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero status, since XFS partitions are checked at mount time.

mkfs.xfs

mkfs.xfs constructs an XFS file system.

xfs_admin

xfs_admin changes the parameters of an XFS file system.

xfs_bmap

xfs_bmap prints block mapping for an XFS file.

xfs_check

xfs_check checks XFS file system consistency.

xfs_copy

xfs_copy copies the contents of an XFS file system to one or more targets in parallel.

xfs_db

xfs_db is used to debug an XFS file system.

xfs_freeze

xfs_freeze suspends access to an XFS file system.

xfs_growfs

xfs_growfs expands an XFS file system.

xfs_info

xfs_info is equivalent to invoking xfs_growfs, but specifying that no change to the file system is to be made.

xfs_io

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

xfs_logprint prints the log of an XFS file system.

xfs_mkfile

xfs_mkfile creates an XFS file, padded with zeroes by default.

xfs_ncheck

xfs_ncheck generates pathnames from inode numbers for an XFS file system.

xfs_repair

xfs_repair repairs corrupt or damaged XFS file systems.

xfs_rtcp

xfs_rtcp copies a file to the real-time partition on an XFS file system.
