How Linux divides the use of XFS partitioning

It must be said that with the development of the Times, as the older generation of Linux file system EXT3/EXT4 has been slowly outdated, poor concurrency, space constraints and other problems slowly exposed.

And the next generation of file systems, where XFS performance is more prominent, a variety of test data shows that better than EXT4 is not a little bit, because this article is not about how strong XFS, so it is not so thin.

Here's how to install using XFS

#首先我们要安装XFS软件包, because this is not necessarily the system comes with, you can install # yum install xfs* directly yum and then load the # modprobe xfs to see if the installation is successful #  lsmod |grep xfsxfs                   1125237  1 exportfs                 4236  1 xfs then look at the current partition status, # fdisk  -ldisk /dev/vda: 21.5 gb, 21474836480 bytes255 heads, 63 sectors /track, 2610 cylindersunits = cylinders of 16065 * 512 =  8225280 bytessector size  (logical/physical):  512 bytes / 512 bytesi/o  size  (Minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesdisk identifier:  0x0007ee22   device boot      start         &nBsp end      blocks   id  system/dev/vda1    *           1         2611    20970496   83  linuxdisk /dev/vdb: 536.9  GB, 536870912000 bytes16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1040253  Cylindersunits = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytessector  size  (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesi/o size  (minimum/ Optimal):  512 bytes / 512 bytesdisk identifier: 0x00000000 If you are interested, you can look for help, Then according to the actual needs to divide the size # mkfs.xfs --help but I just put the entire partition formatted, # mkfs.xfs /dev/vdb and then see if the file directory to be mounted is empty #  Ll /datatotal 0 guarantee is empty, then be sure to mount it. # mount -t xfs /dev/vdb /data mount, look at the partition status #  df -thfilesystem     type  size  used avail use% mounted on/dev/ vda1      ext3   20g  2.9g   16g   16% //dev/vdb       xfs   500g  3.1g   497g   1% /data See the Type column display XFS, can use the # of course, we want to add to boot automatically mount # vim /etc/fstab/ dev/vda1            /                     ext3        noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 1proc                  /proc                 proc        defaults              0 0sysfs                 /sys                  sysfs      noauto                 0  0debugfs              /sys/kernel/debug     debugfs    noauto                 0 0devpts                /dev/pts              devpts     mode=0620,gid=5        0 0/dev/vdb        /data   xfs     defaults         0       0 added to the last line is possible.

Yes, it's just a few simple commands, and then we'll start using them.
