XFS Removes Some Old Mount Options & Enables Fsck By Default For Linux 6.18

([Linux Storage] 4 Hours Ago Linux 6.18 XFS)


The XFS file-system updates have been merged for the Linux 6.18 merge window.

Most notable with the XFS updates for Linux 6.18 is [1]enabling online fsck support by default . The online fsck code has been available in the mainline kernel the past year without any real issues and is now being enabled by default for Linux 6.18, which is anticipated to be this year's LTS kernel version.

XFS for Linux 6.18 also removes the (no)attr2 and (no)ikeep mount options that had already been deprecated for years.

XFS also has seen improvements to its online repair reap calculations, some Kconfig updates, and other changes.

More details on the XFS code merged for Linux 6.18 via [2]this merge .

The Gurus of Unix Meeting of Minds (GUMM) takes place Wednesday, April
1, 2076 (check THAT in your perpetual calendar program), 14 feet above
the ground directly in front of the Milpitas Gumps. Members will grep
each other by the hand (after intro), yacc a lot, smoke filtered
chroots in pipes, chown with forks, use the wc (unless uuclean), fseek
nice zombie processes, strip, and sleep, but not, we hope, od. Three
days will be devoted to discussion of the ramifications of whodo. Two
seconds have been allotted for a complete rundown of all the user-
friendly features of Unix. Seminars include "Everything You Know is
Wrong", led by Tom Kempson, "Batman or Cat:man?" led by Richie Dennis
"cc C? Si! Si!" led by Kerwin Bernighan, and "Document Unix, Are You
Kidding?" led by Jan Yeats. No Reader Service No. is necessary because
all GUGUs (Gurus of Unix Group of Users) already know everything we
could tell them.
