[linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v5] Doc : fs : convert xfs.txt to ReST

Sheriff Esseson
2019-07-02T12:31:01Z

Convert xfs.txt to ReST, rename and fix broken references, consequently.

Make the name "value" in "option=value" look like a variable (that it probably
is), by embedding in angle "<>" brackets, rather than something predifined
elsewhere. This is inline with the conventions in manuals.

Also, make defaults of boolean options prefixed with "(*)". This is so that
options can be compressed to "[no]option" and on a single line, which renders
consistently and nicely in htmldocs.

lastly, enforce a "one option, one definition" policy to keep things
consistent and simple.

v5 aims to comply with the guiding comments on its previous versions.

+======================
+The SGI XFS Filesystem
+======================
+
+XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
+on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can
+support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
+variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
+Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
+and scalability.
+
+Refer to the documentation at https://xfs.wiki.kernel.org/
+for further details. This implementation is on-disk compatible
+with the IRIX version of XFS.
+
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted. For
+boolean mount options, the names with the "(*)" prefix is the default behaviour.
+For example, take a behaviour enabled by default to be a one (1) or, a zero (0)
+otherwise, ``(*)[no]default`` would be 0 while ``[no](*)default`` , a 1.
+
+ allocsize=<size>
+ Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when doing delayed
+ allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB). Valid values for this
+ option are page size (typically 4KiB) through to 1GiB, inclusive, in
+ power-of-2 increments.
+
+ The default behaviour is for dynamic end-of-file preallocation size,
+ which uses a set of heuristics to optimise the preallocation size based
+ on the current allocation patterns within the file and the access
+ patterns to the file. Specifying a fixed allocsize value turns off the
+ dynamic behaviour.
+
+ [no]attr2
+ The options enable/disable an "opportunistic" improvement to be made in
+ the way inline extended attributes are stored on-disk. When the new
+ form is used for the first time when ``attr2`` is selected (either when
+ setting or removing extended attributes) the on-disk superblock feature
+ bit field will be updated to reflect this format being in use.
+
+ The default behaviour is determined by the on-disk feature bit
+ indicating that ``attr2`` behaviour is active. If either mount option is
+ set, then that becomes the new default used by the filesystem. However
+ on CRC enabled filesystems, the ``attr2`` format is always used , and so
+ will reject the ``noattr2`` mount option if it is set.
+
+ (*)[no]discard
+ Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block device reclaim
+ space freed by the filesystem. This is useful for SSD devices, thinly
+ provisioned LUNs and virtual machine images, but may have a performance
+ impact.
+
+ Note: It is currently recommended that you use the ``fstrim``
+ application to discard unused blocks rather than the ``discard`` mount
+ option because the performance impact of this option is quite severe.
+
+ grpid/bsdgroups
+ nogrpid/(*)sysvgroups
+ These options define what group ID a newly created file gets. When
+ ``grpid`` is set, it takes the group ID of the directory in which it is
+ created; otherwise it takes the ``fsgid`` of the current process, unless
+ the directory has the ``setgid`` bit set, in which case it takes the
+ ``gid`` from the parent directory, and also gets the ``setgid`` bit set
+ if it is a directory itself.
+
+ filestreams
+ Make the data allocator use the filestreams allocation mode across the
+ entire filesystem rather than just on directories configured to use it.
+
+ (*)[no]ikeep
+ When ``ikeep`` is specified, XFS does not delete empty inode clusters
+ and keeps them around on disk. When ``noikeep`` is specified, empty
+ inode clusters are returned to the free space pool.
+
+ inode32 | (*)inode64
+ When ``inode32`` is specified, it indicates that XFS limits inode
+ creation to locations which will not result in inode numbers with more
+ than 32 bits of significance.
+
+ When ``inode64`` is specified, it indicates that XFS is allowed to
+ create inodes at any location in the filesystem, including those which
+ will result in inode numbers occupying more than 32 bits of
+ significance.
+
+ ``inode32`` is provided for backwards compatibility with older systems
+ and applications, since 64 bits inode numbers might cause problems for
+ some applications that cannot handle large inode numbers. If
+ applications are in use which do not handle inode numbers bigger than 32
+ bits, the ``inode32`` option should be specified.
+
+
+ (*)[no]largeio
+ If ``nolargeio`` is specified, the optimal I/O reported in st_blksize by
+ **stat(2)** will be as small as possible to allow user applications to
+ avoid inefficient read/modify/write I/O. This is typically the page
+ size of the machine, as this is the granularity of the page cache.
+
+ If ``largeio`` is specified, a filesystem that was created with a
+ ``swidth`` specified will return the ``swidth`` value (in bytes) in
+ st_blksize. If the filesystem does not have a ``swidth`` specified but
+ does specify an ``allocsize`` then ``allocsize`` (in bytes) will be
+ returned instead. Otherwise the behaviour is the same as if
+ ``nolargeio`` was specified.
+
+ logbufs=<value>
+ Set the number of in-memory log buffers to ``value``. Valid numbers
+ range from 2-8 inclusive.
+
+ The default value is 8 buffers.
+
+ If the memory cost of 8 log buffers is too high on small systems, then
+ it may be reduced at some cost to performance on metadata intensive
+ workloads. The ``logbsize`` option below controls the size of each
+ buffer and so is also relevant to this case.
+
+ logbsize=<value>
+ Set the size of each in-memory log buffer to ``value``. The size may be
+ specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix. Valid sizes for
+ version 1 and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k) and 32768 (32k). Valid
+ sizes for version 2 logs also include 65536 (64k), 131072 (128k) and
+ 262144 (256k). The ``logbsize`` must be an integer multiple of the
+ "log stripe unit" configured at mkfs time.
+
+ The default value for for version 1 logs is 32768, while the default
+ value for version 2 logs is ``MAX(32768, log_sunit)``.
+
+ logdev=<device>
+ Use ``device`` as an external log (metadata journal). In an XFS
+ filesystem, the log device can be separate from the data device or
+ contained within it.
+
+ rtdev=<device>
+ An XFS filesystem has up to three parts: a data section, a log section,
+ and a real-time section. The real-time section is optional. If
+ enabled, ``rtdev`` sets ``device`` to be used as an external real-time
+ section, similar to ``logdev`` above.
+
+ noalign
+ Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit boundaries. This is
+ only relevant to filesystems created with non-zero data alignment
+ parameters (sunit, swidth) by mkfs.
+
+ norecovery
+ The filesystem will be mounted without running log recovery. If the
+ filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, it is likely to be inconsistent
+ when mounted in ``norecovery`` mode. Some files or directories may not
+ be accessible because of this. Filesystems mounted ``norecovery`` must
+ be mounted read-only or the mount will fail.
+
+ nouuid
+ Don't check for double mounted file systems using the file system uuid.
+ This is useful to mount LVM snapshot volumes, and often used in
+ combination with ``norecovery`` for mounting read-only snapshots.
+
+ noquota
+ Forcibly turns off all quota accounting and enforcement
+ within the filesystem.
+
+ uquota/usrquota/uqnoenforce/quota
+ User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally) enforced.
+ Refer to **xfs_quota(8)** for further details.
+
+ gquota/grpquota/gqnoenforce
+ Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally) enforced.
+ Refer to **xfs_quota(8)** for further details.
+
+ pquota/prjquota/pqnoenforce
+ Project disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally) enforced.
+ Refer to **xfs_quota(8)** for further details.
+
+ sunit=<value>
+ Used to specify the stripe unit for a RAID device or (in conjunction
+ with ``swidth`` below) a stripe volume. ``value`` must be specified in
+ 512-byte block units. This option is only relevant to filesystems that
+ were created with non-zero data alignment parameters.
+
+ The ``sunit`` parameter specified must be compatible with the existing
+ filesystem alignment characteristics. In general, that means the only
+ valid changes to ``sunit`` are increasing it by a power-of-2 multiple.
+
+ Typically, this mount option is necessary only after an underlying RAID
+ device has had its geometry modified, such as adding a new disk to a
+ RAID5 lun and reshaping it.
+
+ swidth=<value>
+ Used to specify the stripe width for a RAID device or (in conjunction
+ with ``sunit`` above) a stripe volume. ``value`` must be specified in
+ 512-byte block units. This option, like ``sunit`` above, is only
+ relevant to filesystems that were created with non-zero data alignment
+ parameters.
+
+ The ``swidth`` parameter specified must be compatible with the existing
+ filesystem alignment characteristics. In general, that means the only
+ valid swidth values are any integer multiple of a valid ``sunit`` value.
+
+ Typically, this mount option is necessary only after an underlying RAID
+ device has had its geometry modified, such as adding a new disk to a
+ RAID5 lun and reshaping it.
+
+
+ swalloc
+ Data allocations will be rounded up to stripe width boundaries when the
+ current end of file is being extended and the file size is larger than
+ the stripe width size.
+
+ wsync
+ When specified, all filesystem namespace operations are executed
+ synchronously. This ensures that when the namespace operation (create,
+ unlink, etc) completes, the change to the namespace is on stable
+ storage. This is useful in HA setups where failover must not result in
+ clients seeing inconsistent namespace presentation during or after a
+ failover event.

+
+
+Error handling
+==============
+
+XFS can act differently according to the type of error found during its
+operation. The implementation introduces the following concepts to the error
+handler:
+
+ -failure speed:
+ Defines how fast XFS should propagate an error upwards when a specific
+ error is found during the filesystem operation. It can propagate
+ immediately, after a defined number of retries, after a set time period,
+ or simply retry forever.
+
+ -error classes:
+ Specifies the subsystem the error configuration will apply to, such as
+ metadata IO or memory allocation. Different subsystems will have
+ different error handlers for which behaviour can be configured.
+
+ -error handlers:
+ Defines the behavior for a specific error.
+
+The filesystem behavior during an error can be set via sysfs files. Each
+error handler works independently - the first condition met by an error handler
+for a specific class will cause the error to be propagated rather than reset and
+retried.
+
+The action taken by the filesystem when the error is propagated is context
+dependent - it may cause a shut down in the case of an unrecoverable error,
+it may be reported back to userspace, or it may even be ignored because
+there's nothing useful we can with the error or anyone we can report it to (e.g.
+during unmount).
+
+The configuration files are organized into the following hierarchy for each
+mounted filesystem:
+
+ /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/error/<class>/<error>/
+
+Where:
+ <dev>
+ The short device name of the mounted filesystem. This is the same device
+ name that shows up in XFS kernel error messages as "XFS(<dev>): ..."
+
+ <class>
+ The subsystem the error configuration belongs to. As of 4.9, the defined
+ classes are:
+
+ - "metadata": applies metadata buffer write IO
+
+ <error>
+ The individual error handler configurations.
+
+
+Each filesystem has "global" error configuration options defined in their top
+level directory:
+
+ /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/error/
+
+ fail_at_unmount (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
+ Defines the filesystem error behavior at unmount time.
+
+ If set to a value of 1, XFS will override all other error configurations
+ during unmount and replace them with "immediate fail" characteristics.
+ i.e. no retries, no retry timeout. This will always allow unmount to
+ succeed when there are persistent errors present.
+
+ If set to 0, the configured retry behaviour will continue until all
+ retries and/or timeouts have been exhausted. This will delay unmount
+ completion when there are persistent errors, and it may prevent the
+ filesystem from ever unmounting fully in the case of "retry forever"
+ handler configurations.
+
+ Note: there is no guarantee that fail_at_unmount can be set while an
+ unmount is in progress. It is possible that the sysfs entries are
+ removed by the unmounting filesystem before a "retry forever" error
+ handler configuration causes unmount to hang, and hence the filesystem
+ must be configured appropriately before unmount begins to prevent
+ unmount hangs.
+
+Each filesystem has specific error class handlers that define the error
+propagation behaviour for specific errors. There is also a "default" error
+handler defined, which defines the behaviour for all errors that don't have
+specific handlers defined. Where multiple retry constraints are configuredi for
+a single error, the first retry configuration that expires will cause the error
+to be propagated. The handler configurations are found in the directory:
+
+ /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/error/<class>/<error>/
+
+ max_retries (Min: -1 Default: Varies Max: INTMAX)
+ Defines the allowed number of retries of a specific error before
+ the filesystem will propagate the error. The retry count for a given
+ error context (e.g. a specific metadata buffer) is reset every time
+ there is a successful completion of the operation.
+
+ Setting the value to "-1" will cause XFS to retry forever for this
+ specific error.
+
+ Setting the value to "0" will cause XFS to fail immediately when the
+ specific error is reported.
+
+ Setting the value to "N" (where 0 < N < Max) will make XFS retry the
+ operation "N" times before propagating the error.
+
+ retry_timeout_seconds (Min: -1 Default: Varies Max: 1 day)
+ Define the amount of time (in seconds) that the filesystem is
+ allowed to retry its operations when the specific error is
+ found.
+
+ Setting the value to "-1" will allow XFS to retry forever for this
+ specific error.
+
+ Setting the value to "0" will cause XFS to fail immediately when the
+ specific error is reported.
+
+ Setting the value to "N" (where 0 < N < Max) will allow XFS to retry the
+ operation for up to "N" seconds before propagating the error.
+
+Note: The default behaviour for a specific error handler is dependent on both
+the class and error context. For example, the default values for
+"metadata/ENODEV" are "0" rather than "-1" so that this error handler defaults
+to "fail immediately" behaviour. This is done because ENODEV is a fatal,
+unrecoverable error no matter how many times the metadata IO is retried.

-
-
-Mount Options
-=============
-
-When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted.
-For boolean mount options, the names with the (*) suffix is the
-default behaviour.
-
- allocsize=size
- Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when
- doing delayed allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB).
- Valid values for this option are page size (typically 4KiB)
- through to 1GiB, inclusive, in power-of-2 increments.

- The default behaviour is for dynamic end-of-file
- preallocation size, which uses a set of heuristics to
- optimise the preallocation size based on the current
- allocation patterns within the file and the access patterns
- to the file. Specifying a fixed allocsize value turns off
- the dynamic behaviour.
-
- attr2
- noattr2
- The options enable/disable an "opportunistic" improvement to
- be made in the way inline extended attributes are stored
- on-disk. When the new form is used for the first time when
- attr2 is selected (either when setting or removing extended
- attributes) the on-disk superblock feature bit field will be
- updated to reflect this format being in use.
-
- The default behaviour is determined by the on-disk feature
- bit indicating that attr2 behaviour is active. If either
- mount option it set, then that becomes the new default used
- by the filesystem.
-
- CRC enabled filesystems always use the attr2 format, and so
- will reject the noattr2 mount option if it is set.
-
- discard
- nodiscard (*)
- Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block
- device reclaim space freed by the filesystem. This is
- useful for SSD devices, thinly provisioned LUNs and virtual
- machine images, but may have a performance impact.
-
- Note: It is currently recommended that you use the fstrim

- is quite severe.
-
- grpid/bsdgroups
- nogrpid/sysvgroups (*)
- These options define what group ID a newly created file
- gets. When grpid is set, it takes the group ID of the
- directory in which it is created; otherwise it takes the
- fsgid of the current process, unless the directory has the
- setgid bit set, in which case it takes the gid from the
- parent directory, and also gets the setgid bit set if it is
- a directory itself.
-
- filestreams
- Make the data allocator use the filestreams allocation mode
- across the entire filesystem rather than just on directories
- configured to use it.
-
- ikeep
- noikeep (*)
- When ikeep is specified, XFS does not delete empty inode
- clusters and keeps them around on disk. When noikeep is
- specified, empty inode clusters are returned to the free
- space pool.
-
- inode32
- inode64 (*)
- When inode32 is specified, it indicates that XFS limits
- inode creation to locations which will not result in inode
- numbers with more than 32 bits of significance.
-
- When inode64 is specified, it indicates that XFS is allowed
- to create inodes at any location in the filesystem,
- including those which will result in inode numbers occupying
- more than 32 bits of significance.
-
- inode32 is provided for backwards compatibility with older
- systems and applications, since 64 bits inode numbers might
- cause problems for some applications that cannot handle
- large inode numbers. If applications are in use which do
- not handle inode numbers bigger than 32 bits, the inode32
- option should be specified.
-
-
- largeio
- nolargeio (*)
- If "nolargeio" is specified, the optimal I/O reported in
- st_blksize by stat(2) will be as small as possible to allow
- user applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write
- I/O. This is typically the page size of the machine, as
- this is the granularity of the page cache.
-
- If "largeio" specified, a filesystem that was created with a
- "swidth" specified will return the "swidth" value (in bytes)
- in st_blksize. If the filesystem does not have a "swidth"
- specified but does specify an "allocsize" then "allocsize"
- (in bytes) will be returned instead. Otherwise the behaviour
- is the same as if "nolargeio" was specified.
-
- logbufs=value
- Set the number of in-memory log buffers. Valid numbers
- range from 2-8 inclusive.
-
- The default value is 8 buffers.
-
- If the memory cost of 8 log buffers is too high on small
- systems, then it may be reduced at some cost to performance
- on metadata intensive workloads. The logbsize option below
- controls the size of each buffer and so is also relevant to
- this case.
-
- logbsize=value
- Set the size of each in-memory log buffer. The size may be
- specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix.
- Valid sizes for version 1 and version 2 logs are 16384 (16k)
- and 32768 (32k). Valid sizes for version 2 logs also
- include 65536 (64k), 131072 (128k) and 262144 (256k). The
- logbsize must be an integer multiple of the log
- stripe unit configured at mkfs time.
-
- The default value for for version 1 logs is 32768, while the
- default value for version 2 logs is MAX(32768, log_sunit).
-
- logdev=device and rtdev=device
- Use an external log (metadata journal) and/or real-time device.
- An XFS filesystem has up to three parts: a data section, a log
- section, and a real-time section. The real-time section is
- optional, and the log section can be separate from the data
- section or contained within it.
-
- noalign
- Data allocations will not be aligned at stripe unit
- boundaries. This is only relevant to filesystems created
- with non-zero data alignment parameters (sunit, swidth) by
- mkfs.
-
- norecovery
- The filesystem will be mounted without running log recovery.
- If the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, it is likely to
- be inconsistent when mounted in "norecovery" mode.
- Some files or directories may not be accessible because of this.
- Filesystems mounted "norecovery" must be mounted read-only or
- the mount will fail.
-
- nouuid
- Don't check for double mounted file systems using the file
- system uuid. This is useful to mount LVM snapshot volumes,
- and often used in combination with "norecovery" for mounting
- read-only snapshots.
-
- noquota
- Forcibly turns off all quota accounting and enforcement
- within the filesystem.
-
- uquota/usrquota/uqnoenforce/quota
- User disk quota accounting enabled, and limits (optionally)
- enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.
-
- gquota/grpquota/gqnoenforce
- Group disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
- enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.
-
- pquota/prjquota/pqnoenforce
- Project disk quota accounting enabled and limits (optionally)
- enforced. Refer to xfs_quota(8) for further details.
-
- sunit=value and swidth=value
- Used to specify the stripe unit and width for a RAID device
- or a stripe volume. "value" must be specified in 512-byte
- block units. These options are only relevant to filesystems
- that were created with non-zero data alignment parameters.
-
- The sunit and swidth parameters specified must be compatible
- with the existing filesystem alignment characteristics. In
- general, that means the only valid changes to sunit are
- increasing it by a power-of-2 multiple. Valid swidth values
- are any integer multiple of a valid sunit value.
-
- Typically the only time these mount options are necessary if
- after an underlying RAID device has had it's geometry
- modified, such as adding a new disk to a RAID5 lun and
- reshaping it.
-
- swalloc
- Data allocations will be rounded up to stripe width boundaries
- when the current end of file is being extended and the file
- size is larger than the stripe width size.
-
- wsync
- When specified, all filesystem namespace operations are
- executed synchronously. This ensures that when the namespace
- operation (create, unlink, etc) completes, the change to the
- namespace is on stable storage. This is useful in HA setups
- where failover must not result in clients seeing
- inconsistent namespace presentation during or after a
- failover event.

-
- fs.xfs.stats_clear (Min: 0 Default: 0 Max: 1)
- Setting this to "1" clears accumulated XFS statistics
- in /proc/fs/xfs/stat. It then immediately resets to "0".
-
- fs.xfs.xfssyncd_centisecs (Min: 100 Default: 3000 Max: 720000)

- ISGID bit is cleared if the irix_sgid_inherit compatibility sysctl
- is set.
-
- fs.xfs.inherit_sync (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
- Setting this to "1" will cause the "sync" flag set

- by the xfs_io(8) chattr command on a directory to be
- inherited by files in that directory.
-
- fs.xfs.inherit_nodefrag (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)

- In "inode32" allocation mode, this option determines how many
- files the allocator attempts to allocate in the same allocation
- group before moving to the next allocation group. The intent
- is to control the rate at which the allocator moves between
- allocation groups when allocating extents for new files.

-Error handling
-==============
-
-XFS can act differently according to the type of error found during its
-operation. The implementation introduces the following concepts to the error
-handler:
-
- -failure speed:
- Defines how fast XFS should propagate an error upwards when a specific
- error is found during the filesystem operation. It can propagate
- immediately, after a defined number of retries, after a set time period,
- or simply retry forever.
-
- -error classes:
- Specifies the subsystem the error configuration will apply to, such as
- metadata IO or memory allocation. Different subsystems will have
- different error handlers for which behaviour can be configured.
-
- -error handlers:
- Defines the behavior for a specific error.
-
-The filesystem behavior during an error can be set via sysfs files. Each
-error handler works independently - the first condition met by an error handler
-for a specific class will cause the error to be propagated rather than reset and
-retried.
-
-The action taken by the filesystem when the error is propagated is context
-dependent - it may cause a shut down in the case of an unrecoverable error,
-it may be reported back to userspace, or it may even be ignored because
-there's nothing useful we can with the error or anyone we can report it to (e.g.
-during unmount).
-
-The configuration files are organized into the following hierarchy for each
-mounted filesystem:
-
- /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/error/<class>/<error>/
-
-Where:
- <dev>
- The short device name of the mounted filesystem. This is the same device
- name that shows up in XFS kernel error messages as "XFS(<dev>): ..."
-
- <class>
- The subsystem the error configuration belongs to. As of 4.9, the defined
- classes are:
-
- - "metadata": applies metadata buffer write IO
-
- <error>
- The individual error handler configurations.
-
-
-Each filesystem has "global" error configuration options defined in their top
-level directory:
-
- /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/error/
-
- fail_at_unmount (Min: 0 Default: 1 Max: 1)
- Defines the filesystem error behavior at unmount time.
-
- If set to a value of 1, XFS will override all other error configurations
- during unmount and replace them with "immediate fail" characteristics.
- i.e. no retries, no retry timeout. This will always allow unmount to
- succeed when there are persistent errors present.
-
- If set to 0, the configured retry behaviour will continue until all
- retries and/or timeouts have been exhausted. This will delay unmount
- completion when there are persistent errors, and it may prevent the
- filesystem from ever unmounting fully in the case of "retry forever"
- handler configurations.
-
- Note: there is no guarantee that fail_at_unmount can be set while an
- unmount is in progress. It is possible that the sysfs entries are
- removed by the unmounting filesystem before a "retry forever" error
- handler configuration causes unmount to hang, and hence the filesystem
- must be configured appropriately before unmount begins to prevent
- unmount hangs.
-
-Each filesystem has specific error class handlers that define the error
-propagation behaviour for specific errors. There is also a "default" error
-handler defined, which defines the behaviour for all errors that don't have
-specific handlers defined. Where multiple retry constraints are configuredi for
-a single error, the first retry configuration that expires will cause the error
-to be propagated. The handler configurations are found in the directory:
-
- /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/error/<class>/<error>/
-
- max_retries (Min: -1 Default: Varies Max: INTMAX)
- Defines the allowed number of retries of a specific error before
- the filesystem will propagate the error. The retry count for a given
- error context (e.g. a specific metadata buffer) is reset every time
- there is a successful completion of the operation.
-
- Setting the value to "-1" will cause XFS to retry forever for this
- specific error.
-
- Setting the value to "0" will cause XFS to fail immediately when the
- specific error is reported.
-
- Setting the value to "N" (where 0 < N < Max) will make XFS retry the
- operation "N" times before propagating the error.
-
- retry_timeout_seconds (Min: -1 Default: Varies Max: 1 day)
- Define the amount of time (in seconds) that the filesystem is
- allowed to retry its operations when the specific error is
- found.
-
- Setting the value to "-1" will allow XFS to retry forever for this
- specific error.
-
- Setting the value to "0" will cause XFS to fail immediately when the
- specific error is reported.
-
- Setting the value to "N" (where 0 < N < Max) will allow XFS to retry the
- operation for up to "N" seconds before propagating the error.
-
-Note: The default behaviour for a specific error handler is dependent on both
-the class and error context. For example, the default values for
-"metadata/ENODEV" are "0" rather than "-1" so that this error handler defaults
-to "fail immediately" behaviour. This is done because ENODEV is a fatal,
-unrecoverable error no matter how many times the metadata IO is retried.
