While doing a lot of xfs_repair work I noticed that there's a lot of effort spent on handling historic filesystem features. The two that make my life in repair hard are mostly: - unaligned inodes - dirv1 none of which every made it to production on Linux. I'd like to suggest to drop support for old filesystem features before a certain cut off date after we release the currently pending xfsprogs 3.1.8 release. |
