In response to the thread "Differences in mkfs.xfs and xfs_info output.",
xfs_repair has been improved to allow version changes/conversion of
filesystems.
So, this patch introduces the first in an ongoing series of in-place
filesystem version changes with xfs_repair and the "-c" (convert) option.
To turn on/off the lazy-superblock feature, run the following xfs_repair
commmand on your filesystem:
# xfs_repair -c lazycount=[0|1] <device>
It is advised to run Dave Chinner's "detect and correct bad features2
superblock field" patch with this patch as lazy-counters are stored in the
features2 field in the superblock.
The next round of case-insensitive support patches will allow xfs_repair
to convert filesystems to different CI versions (ie. -c
name=[raw|ascii|unicode]).
Barry.
