XFS for Linux Release 1.0 New Features

XFS for Linux Release 1.0 differs from Pre-release 0.10 in the following ways:

• Filesystem group quotas

  XFS 1.0 provides a complete implementation of filesystem quota. This includes support for both user and group quota, and unlike other Linux filesystems, quota information is considered metadata under XFS and is journaled. Due to the higher level guarantees of consistency this provides, there is no need for the use of quotacheck(8) with XFS filesystems.

  The Linux quota user tools now provide complete support for XFS filesystems (see the Linux DiskQuota Summary page) in addition to numerous bug fixes from earlier releases.

• The SGI XFS Filesystem 1.0 Release for Red Hat 7.1 Installer is available as an ISO image, from which you can create a bootable installer CD-ROM. This CD-ROM, together with the original Red Hat 7.1 installation media, will allow you to install an XFS-capable system based on Red Hat 7.1.
• Several bug fixes have been made, based on testing and feedback on the Linux Release 1.0.
