1 | OCFS2 filesystem |
| 2 | ================== | |
| 3 | OCFS2 is a general purpose extent based shared disk cluster file | |
| 4 | system with many similarities to ext3. It supports 64 bit inode | |
| 5 | numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may | |
| 6 | also make it attractive for non-clustered use. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least | |
| 9 | get "mount.ocfs2" and "ocfs2_hb_ctl". | |

| 39 | Mount options | |
| 40 | ============= | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | OCFS2 supports the following mount options: | |
| 43 | (*) == default | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | barrier=1 This enables/disables barriers. barrier=0 disables it, | |
| 46 | barrier=1 enables it. | |
| 47 | errors=remount-ro(*) Remount the filesystem read-only on an error. | |
| 48 | errors=panic Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs. | |
| 49 | intr (*) Allow signals to interrupt cluster operations. | |
| 50 | nointr Do not allow signals to interrupt cluster | |
| 51 | operations. | |
| bcd5625b TY |
52 | atime_quantum=60(*) OCFS2 will not update atime unless this number |
| 53 | of seconds has passed since the last update. | |
| 54 | Set to zero to always update atime. | |
| 10b0845b MF |
55 | data=ordered (*) All data are forced directly out to the main file |
| 56 | system prior to its metadata being committed to the | |
| 57 | journal. | |
| 58 | data=writeback Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written | |
| 59 | into the main file system after its metadata has been | |
| 60 | committed to the journal. | |
| 61 | preferred_slot=0(*) During mount, try to use this filesystem slot first. If | |
| 62 | it is in use by another node, the first empty one found | |
| 63 | will be chosen. Invalid values will be ignored. | |
| d147b3d6 MF |
64 | commit=nrsec (*) Ocfs2 can be told to sync all its data and metadata |
| 65 | every 'nrsec' seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. | |
| 66 | This means that if you lose your power, you will lose | |
| 67 | as much as the latest 5 seconds of work (your | |
| 68 | filesystem will not be damaged though, thanks to the | |
| 69 | journaling). This default value (or any low value) | |
| 70 | will hurt performance, but it's good for data-safety. | |
| 71 | Setting it to 0 will have the same effect as leaving | |
| 72 | it at the default (5 seconds). | |
| 73 | Setting it to very large values will improve | |
| 74 | performance. | |
| 2fbe8d1e SM |
75 | localalloc=8(*) Allows custom localalloc size in MB. If the value is too |
| 76 | large, the fs will silently revert it to the default. | |
| 77 | Localalloc is not enabled for local mounts. | |
| 53fc622b | 78 | localflocks This disables cluster aware flock. |
