Configuring XFS
To format OS partition with the XFS option, use the following sample configuration:
Cluster Level:
config
clusters cluster_name
node-defaults os partition smi-data
fs-type { ext4 | xfs }
exit
Node Level:
config
clusters cluster_name
nodes node_name
os partition smi-data
fs-type { ext4 | xfs }
exit
NOTES:
-
smi-data —Use when there is a separate disk for the /data directory (VMware, OpenStack, and so on).
-
fs-type { ext4 | xfs } —Specify the ext4 or XFS file system.
Verifying the Configuration
To verify the configuration, use the following commands:
-
smi-state is formatted with xfs using the following configuration:
os partition smi-state fs-type xfs exit
-
fstab :
$ cat /etc/fstab | grep xfs LABEL=smi-state /mnt/stateful_partition xfs defaults 0 0
-
blkid :
$ blkid | grep xfs /dev/sda5: LABEL="smi-state" UUID="9e717cb9-c1fb-4190-9283-aa20afe24d3a" TYPE="xfs" PARTLABEL="smi-state" PARTUUID="7251ecd2-9623-4a37-88f8-b969b836634d"
