Perhaps it's finally time to enable kernel support in Ubuntu given the upstream support:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/XFS-Ready-Online-FSCK-Default But the most exciting aspect of these Kconfig updates for XFS in 2025 is enabling online fsck support by default. Carlos Maiolino commented with the updates that no major issues have turned up since the code was introduced 16 months ago and should be deemed good enough for enabling by default. XFS online fsck being enabled by default Darrick Wong commented with the patch to enable XFS_ONLINE_SCRUB by default: "Online fsck has been a part of upstream for over a year now without any serious problems. Turn it on by default in time for the 2025 LTS kernel, and get rid of the "say N if unsure" messages for the default Y options." The XFS online scrub/fsck capability allows checking metadata on a mounted XFS file-system. Problems can be analyzed proactively without having to take the file-system offline. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New ** Summary changed: - Kernel metadata scrubbing facility is not available. + Kernel metadata scrubbing facility is not available.
