The system has a 3ware ATA-Raid controller. When I try to create a real-time subvolume, this what I get: wop18:~ # mkfs -t xfs -f -r rtdev=/dev/sda6 /dev/sda5 meta-data=/dev/sda5 isize=256 agcount=49, agsize=1048576 blks data = bsize=4096 blocks=51201147, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0 naming =version 2 bsize=4096 log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=6250, version=1 = sunit=0 blks realtime =/dev/sda6 extsz=65536 blocks=183237382, rtextents=11452336 XFS: This FS has an RT subvol - specify -o rtdev on mount mkfs.xfs: real-time device init failed mkfs.xfs: filesystem failed to initialize Does this mean that the realtime subvolume is not usable? Can you please tell me the status of realtime subvolume status of XFS in Linux? I checked the archives, and found similar questions raised in early 2002. Wonder if we have anything new now.
