Hi all,
I have recently installed SL6.0 and would like to mount a xfs
filesystem, the mount command just leads to
mount: unknown filesystem 'xfs'
The corresponding xfs kernel modules seem to be absent for SL6.
Is there a straightforward way to xfs mounting?
Hi,
# yum install xfsprogs
Best regards,
Morten
Hi Morten,
thanks for your suggestion. I had already installed xfsprogs, so
mount: unknown filesystem 'xfs'
remains.
Is there some alternative for mount based on xfs commands?
Cheers,
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
are you using 64bit or 32bit SL6. I think in 32bit xfs is not supported, due to a
bug when mounting large filesystems (> 16TB?)
regards
Boris
Hi Boris,
I am using 32 bit and just recognized that for SL5 the mkfs.xfs command
like
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sdb1
had worked to allow xfs mounting.
Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Andreas
XFS on SL6 32 bit is not supported. It is not in the kernel. We have
not supplied the 32 bit xfs utilities.
XFS on SL5 32 bit is barely supported.
We have the utilities for 32 bit.
We have a xfs kernel-module rpm. (For 64 bit xfs is built into the kernel)
We encourage SL5 users to use xfs in 64 bit.
