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.
