xfs_info

xfs_info(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_info(8)

NAME

   xfs_info - display XFS filesystem geometry information

SYNOPSIS

   xfs_info [ -t mtab ] [ mount-point | block-device | file-image ]
   xfs_info -V

DESCRIPTION

   xfs_info displays geometry information about an existing XFS filesystem.  The mount-point argument is the pathname of a directory where the filesystem is mounted.  The block-device or
   file-image contain a raw XFS filesystem.  The existing contents of the filesystem are undisturbed.

OPTIONS

   -t     Specifies an alternate mount table file (default is /proc/mounts if it exists, else /etc/mtab).  This is used when working with filesystems mounted without writing to /etc/mtab
          file - refer to mount(8) for further details.  This option has no effect with the block-device or file-image parameters.

   -V     Prints the version number and exits. The mount-point argument is not required with -V.

EXAMPLES

   Understanding xfs_info output.

   Suppose one has the following "xfs_info /dev/sda" output:

     meta-data=/dev/pmem0             isize=512    agcount=8, agsize=5974144 blks
              =                       sectsz=512   attr=2, projid32bit=1
              =                       crc=1        finobt=1, sparse=1, rmapbt=1
              =                       reflink=1
     data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=47793152, imaxpct=25
              =                       sunit=32     swidth=128 blks
     naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0, ftype=1
     log      =internal log           bsize=4096   blocks=23336, version=2
              =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
     realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0

   Here,  the data section of the output indicates "bsize=4096", meaning the data block size for this filesystem is 4096 bytes.  This section also shows "sunit=32 swidth=128 blks", which
   means the stripe unit is 32*4096 bytes = 128 kibibytes and the stripe width is 128*4096 bytes = 512 kibibytes.  A single stripe of this filesystem therefore consists  of  four  stripe
   units (128 blocks / 32 blocks per unit).
