I recall reading on the list somewhere, someone mentioning that XFS and
other filesystems on alpha-linux would use a blocksize of 8k, given the
pagesize being the same. having just recently moved / on my alpha over to
XFS, I noticed this oddity:
kieran@hysteria kieran $ xfs_info /
meta-data=/ isize=256 agcount=3, agsize=732966 blks
data = bsize=4096 blocks=2198896, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0
naming =version 2 bsize=4096
log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=6144 version=1
= sunit=0 blks
realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0
I created that fs with "mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=3 -l size=24m -L /
/dev/sda2" intentionally not specifying a blocksize, in any of the
options, expecting it to use the native 8k pagesize, but it didnt.this isnt a
problem in any way, the fs works fine, as to the utilities
(xfsdump, fsr et al) .. I'm just curious.
here's /proc/cpuinfo as well, just for good measure:
kieran@hysteria kieran $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
