.Dd January 16, 2011 .Dt XFS 5 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm xfs .Nd "XFS file system" .Sh SYNOPSIS To link into the kernel: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "options XFS" .Ed
p To load as a kernel loadable module:
p .Dl "kldload xfs" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver will permit the .Fx kernel to access .Tn XFS file systems. .Sh EXAMPLES To mount a .Nm volume located on
p .Dl "mount -t xfs -o ro /dev/ad1s1 /mnt" .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr nmount 2 , .Xr unmount 2 , .Xr fstab 5 , .Xr mount 8 .Sh NOTES The
a sysutils/xfsprogs port contains the .Cm mkfs.xfs utility for creating XFS file systems, and also other utilities for analyzing, and repairing XFS file systems. .Sh HISTORY XFS was originally written by SGI for the IRIX operating system. SGI ported XFS to Linux, and released the source code under the GNU Public License. For more details, see:
a http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs
p The port to .Fx was based on the Linux port, and started by .An -nosplit .An Russell Cattelan Aq cattelan@xfs.org , .An Alexander Kabaev Aq kan@FreeBSD.org , and .An Craig Rodrigues Aq rodrigc@FreeBSD.org .
p The .Nm file system support first appeared in .Fx 7.0 . .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Craig Rodrigues Aq rodrigc@FreeBSD.org . .Sh CAVEATS The port of XFS to .Fx is currently incomplete. Only read-only access is supported for XFS volumes. Writing to a volume is not supported.
p The .Fl p flag to .Cm mkfs.xfs can be used to create an XFS file system which is populated with files and other metadata. This can be used to quickly create a read-only file system which can be tested on .Fx .
