Get Information

There are two tools to retrieve the file system’s information: xfs_info and xfs_metadump. Both of them could be run when the file system is mounted.

xfs_metadump could be used in order to store the file system’s metadata offline.

Tuning

xfs_admin allow us to adjust some file system options such as:

• -j to enable version 2 journaling format
• -l and -u to obtain file system label and UUID
• -L and -U to set file system label and UUID

However, this must be done in an unmounted file system in order to prevent data corruption.

Debugging

xfs_db allow us to interactively debug the file system. However, this must be done in an unmounted file system in order to prevent data corruption.
