XFS may be breaking convention by doing so, as it appears EXT2 (and probably 3/4, and other filesystems) behave the same as XFS currently does--no display of default settings, except rw. > It's so hard to keep google up to date ;) Add the information to the FAQ and it'll show up in Google indexes in short order, assuming you allow robots to crawl xfs.org, which IIRC, you do. > /proc/mounts shows all mount options which were set differently from > defaults. Yes. It would be nice to see the settings regardless of default or user defined. In the absence of, or in addition to this, could we get a consistent (default) for each setting in XFS man mount? For example, barrier is listed but we're not told if it's the default. nobarrier isn't even in the man page, but it's on the wiki FAQ. The wiki FAQ tells us that barrier is the default. I'm referring to the man page that comes with Debian 5.0. The current man page may be updated to reflect some of these things, though I've not read it yet. Sorry if I seem nit-picky. I've spent many hours trying to hunt down some of this information and it's been a frustrating process. XFS rocks. Currently, from here, the docs don't rock yet. :( -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
