e2fsprogs: add mount options to ext4.5 |
|
|
|
This is a straight cut and paste from the util-linux |
|
mount manpage to ext4.5 (with commented-out lines |
|
removed). |
|
|
|
It's pretty much impossible for util-linux to keep up |
|
with every filesystem out there, and Karel has more than |
|
once expressed a wish that mount options move into fs-specific |
|
manpages. |
|
|
|
So, here we go. |

+.SH MOUNT OPTIONS |
|
+This section describes mount options which are specific to ext2, ext3, |
|
+and ext4. Other generic mount options may be used as well; see |
|
+.BR mount (8) |
|
+for details. |
|
+.SH "Mount options for ext2" |
|
+The `ext2' filesystem is the standard Linux filesystem. |
|
+Since Linux 2.5.46, for most mount options the default |
|
+is determined by the filesystem superblock. Set them with |
|
+.BR tune2fs (8). |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR acl | noacl |
|
+Support POSIX Access Control Lists (or not). |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR bsddf | minixdf |
|
+Set the behavior for the |
|
+.I statfs |
|
+system call. The |
|
+.B minixdf |
|
+behavior is to return in the |
|
+.I f_blocks |
|
+field the total number of blocks of the filesystem, while the |
|
+.B bsddf |
|
+behavior (which is the default) is to subtract the overhead blocks |
|
+used by the ext2 filesystem and not available for file storage. Thus |
|

|
+to the options given in |
|
+.IR /etc/fstab .) |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR check=none " or " nocheck |
|
+No checking is done at mount time. This is the default. This is fast. |
|
+It is wise to invoke |
|
+.BR e2fsck (8) |
|
+every now and then, e.g.\& at boot time. The non-default behavior is unsupported |
|
+(check=normal and check=strict options have been removed). Note that these mount options |
|
+don't have to be supported if ext4 kernel driver is used for ext2 and ext3 filesystems. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B debug |
|
+Print debugging info upon each (re)mount. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR errors= { continue | remount-ro | panic } |
|
+Define the behavior when an error is encountered. |
|
+(Either ignore errors and just mark the filesystem erroneous and continue, |
|
+or remount the filesystem read-only, or panic and halt the system.) |
|
+The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be |
|
+changed using |
|
+.BR tune2fs (8). |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR grpid | bsdgroups " and " nogrpid | sysvgroups |
|
+These options define what group id a newly created file gets. |
|
+When |
|
+.B grpid |
|
+is set, it takes the group id of the directory in which it is created; |
|
+otherwise (the default) it takes the fsgid of the current process, unless |
|
+the directory has the setgid bit set, in which case it takes the gid |
|
+from the parent directory, and also gets the setgid bit set |
|
+if it is a directory itself. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR grpquota | noquota | quota | usrquota |
|
+The usrquota (same as quota) mount option enables user quota support on the |
|
+filesystem. grpquota enables group quotas support. You need the quota utilities |
|
+to actually enable and manage the quota system. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B nouid32 |
|
+Disables 32-bit UIDs and GIDs. This is for interoperability with older |
|
+kernels which only store and expect 16-bit values. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR oldalloc " or " orlov |
|
+Use old allocator or Orlov allocator for new inodes. Orlov is default. |
|
+.TP |
|
+\fBresgid=\fP\,\fIn\fP and \fBresuid=\fP\,\fIn\fP |
|
+The ext2 filesystem reserves a certain percentage of the available |
|
+space (by default 5%, see |
|
+.BR mke2fs (8) |
|
+and |
|
+.BR tune2fs (8)). |
|
+These options determine who can use the reserved blocks. |
|
+(Roughly: whoever has the specified uid, or belongs to the specified group.) |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI sb= n |
|
+Instead of block 1, use block |
|
+.I n |
|
+as superblock. This could be useful when the filesystem has been damaged. |
|
+(Earlier, copies of the superblock would be made every 8192 blocks: in |
|
+block 1, 8193, 16385, \&...\& (and one got thousands of copies on |
|
+a big filesystem). Since version 1.08, |
|
+.B mke2fs |
|
+has a \-s (sparse superblock) option to reduce the number of backup |
|
+superblocks, and since version 1.15 this is the default. Note |
|
+that this may mean that ext2 filesystems created by a recent |
|
+.B mke2fs |
|
+cannot be mounted r/w under Linux 2.0.*.) |
|
+The block number here uses 1\ k units. Thus, if you want to use logical |
|
+block 32768 on a filesystem with 4\ k blocks, use "sb=131072". |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR user_xattr | nouser_xattr |
|
+Support "user." extended attributes (or not). |
|
+ |
|
+ |
|
+.SH "Mount options for ext3" |
|
+The ext3 filesystem is a version of the ext2 filesystem which has been |
|
+enhanced with journaling. It supports the same options as ext2 as |
|
+well as the following additions: |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B journal=update |
|
+Update the ext3 filesystem's journal to the current format. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B journal=inum |
|
+When a journal already exists, this option is ignored. Otherwise, it |
|
+specifies the number of the inode which will represent the ext3 filesystem's |
|
+journal file; ext3 will create a new journal, overwriting the old contents |
|
+of the file whose inode number is |
|
+.IR inum . |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR journal_dev=devnum / journal_path=path |
|
+When the external journal device's major/minor numbers |
|
+have changed, these options allow the user to specify |
|
+the new journal location. The journal device is |
|
+identified either through its new major/minor numbers encoded |
|
+in devnum, or via a path to the device. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR norecovery / noload |
|
+Don't load the journal on mounting. Note that |
|
+if the filesystem was not unmounted cleanly, |
|
+skipping the journal replay will lead to the |
|
+filesystem containing inconsistencies that can |
|
+lead to any number of problems. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR data= { journal | ordered | writeback } |
|
+Specifies the journaling mode for file data. Metadata is always journaled. |
|
+To use modes other than |
|
+.B ordered |
|
+on the root filesystem, pass the mode to the kernel as boot parameter, e.g.\& |
|
+.IR rootflags=data=journal . |
|
+.RS |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B journal |
|
+All data is committed into the journal prior to being written into the |
|
+main filesystem. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B ordered |
|
+This is the default mode. All data is forced directly out to the main file |
|
+system prior to its metadata being committed to the journal. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B writeback |
|
+Data ordering is not preserved \(en data may be written into the main |
|
+filesystem after its metadata has been committed to the journal. |
|
+This is rumoured to be the highest-throughput option. It guarantees |
|
+internal filesystem integrity, however it can allow old data to appear |
|
+in files after a crash and journal recovery. |
|
+.RE |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B data_err=ignore |
|
+Just print an error message if an error occurs in a file data buffer in |
|
+ordered mode. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B data_err=abort |
|
+Abort the journal if an error occurs in a file data buffer in ordered mode. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR barrier=0 " / " barrier=1 " |
|
+This disables / enables the use of write barriers in the jbd code. barrier=0 |
|
+disables, barrier=1 enables (default). This also requires an IO stack which can |
|
+support barriers, and if jbd gets an error on a barrier write, it will disable |
|
+barriers again with a warning. Write barriers enforce proper on-disk ordering |
|
+of journal commits, making volatile disk write caches safe to use, at some |
|
+performance penalty. If your disks are battery-backed in one way or another, |
|
+disabling barriers may safely improve performance. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI commit= nrsec |
|
+Sync all data and metadata every |
|
+.I nrsec |
|
+seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. Zero means default. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B user_xattr |
|
+Enable Extended User Attributes. See the |
|
+.BR attr (5) |
|
+manual page. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B acl |
|
+Enable POSIX Access Control Lists. See the |
|
+.BR acl (5) |
|
+manual page. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR usrjquota=aquota.user | grpjquota=aquota.group | jqfmt=vfsv0 |
|
+Apart from the old quota system (as in ext2, jqfmt=vfsold aka version 1 quota) |
|
+ext3 also supports journaled quotas (version 2 quota). jqfmt=vfsv0 |
|
+enables journaled quotas. For journaled quotas the mount options |
|
+usrjquota=aquota.user and grpjquota=aquota.group are required to tell the |
|
+quota system which quota database files to use. Journaled quotas have the |
|
+advantage that even after a crash no quota check is required. |
|
+ |
|
+.SH "Mount options for ext4" |
|
+The ext4 filesystem is an advanced level of the ext3 filesystem which |
|
+incorporates scalability and reliability enhancements for supporting large |
|
+filesystem. |
|
+ |
|
+The options |
|
+.B journal_dev, norecovery, noload, data, commit, orlov, oldalloc, [no]user_xattr |
|
+.B [no]acl, bsddf, minixdf, debug, errors, data_err, grpid, bsdgroups, nogrpid |
|
+.B sysvgroups, resgid, resuid, sb, quota, noquota, grpquota, usrquota |
|
+.B usrjquota, grpjquota and jqfmt |
|
+are backwardly compatible with ext3 or ext2. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B journal_checksum |
|
+Enable checksumming of the journal transactions. This will allow the recovery |
|
+code in e2fsck and the kernel to detect corruption in the kernel. It is a |
|
+compatible change and will be ignored by older kernels. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B journal_async_commit |
|
+Commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks. If |
|
+enabled older kernels cannot mount the device. |
|
+This will enable 'journal_checksum' internally. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR barrier=0 " / " barrier=1 " / " barrier " / " nobarrier |
|
+These mount options have the same effect as in ext3. The mount options |
|
+"barrier" and "nobarrier" are added for consistency with other ext4 mount |
|
+options. |
|
+ |
|
+The ext4 filesystem enables write barriers by default. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI inode_readahead_blks= n |
|
+This tuning parameter controls the maximum number of inode table blocks that |
|
+ext4's inode table readahead algorithm will pre-read into the buffer cache. |
|
+The value must be a power of 2. The default value is 32 blocks. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI stripe= n |
|
+Number of filesystem blocks that mballoc will try to use for allocation size |
|
+and alignment. For RAID5/6 systems this should be the number of data disks * |
|
+RAID chunk size in filesystem blocks. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B delalloc |
|
+Deferring block allocation until write-out time. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B nodelalloc |
|
+Disable delayed allocation. Blocks are allocated when data is copied from user |
|
+to page cache. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI max_batch_time= usec |
|
+Maximum amount of time ext4 should wait for additional filesystem operations to |
|
+be batch together with a synchronous write operation. Since a synchronous |
|
+write operation is going to force a commit and then a wait for the I/O |
|
+complete, it doesn't cost much, and can be a huge throughput win, we wait for a |
|
+small amount of time to see if any other transactions can piggyback on the |
|
+synchronous write. The algorithm used is designed to automatically tune for |
|
+the speed of the disk, by measuring the amount of time (on average) that it |
|
+takes to finish committing a transaction. Call this time the "commit time". |
|
+If the time that the transaction has been running is less than the commit time, |
|
+ext4 will try sleeping for the commit time to see if other operations will join |
|
+the transaction. The commit time is capped by the max_batch_time, which |
|
+defaults to 15000\ \[mc]s (15\ ms). This optimization can be turned off entirely by |
|
+setting max_batch_time to 0. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI min_batch_time= usec |
|
+This parameter sets the commit time (as described above) to be at least |
|
+min_batch_time. It defaults to zero microseconds. Increasing this parameter |
|
+may improve the throughput of multi-threaded, synchronous workloads on very |
|
+fast disks, at the cost of increasing latency. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BI journal_ioprio= prio |
|
+The I/O priority (from 0 to 7, where 0 is the highest priority) which should be |
|
+used for I/O operations submitted by kjournald2 during a commit operation. |
|
+This defaults to 3, which is a slightly higher priority than the default I/O |
|
+priority. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B abort |
|
+Simulate the effects of calling ext4_abort() for |
|
+debugging purposes. This is normally used while |
|
+remounting a filesystem which is already mounted. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR auto_da_alloc | noauto_da_alloc |
|
+Many broken applications don't use fsync() when |
|
+replacing existing files via patterns such as |
|
+ |
|
+fd = open("foo.new")/write(fd,...)/close(fd)/ rename("foo.new", "foo") |
|
+ |
|
+or worse yet |
|
+ |
|
+fd = open("foo", O_TRUNC)/write(fd,...)/close(fd). |
|
+ |
|
+If auto_da_alloc is enabled, ext4 will detect the replace-via-rename and |
|
+replace-via-truncate patterns and force that any delayed allocation blocks are |
|
+allocated such that at the next journal commit, in the default data=ordered |
|
+mode, the data blocks of the new file are forced to disk before the rename() |
|
+operation is committed. This provides roughly the same level of guarantees as |
|
+ext3, and avoids the "zero-length" problem that can happen when a system |
|
+crashes before the delayed allocation blocks are forced to disk. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B noinit_itable |
|
+Do not initialize any uninitialized inode table blocks in the background. This |
|
+feature may be used by installation CD's so that the install process can |
|
+complete as quickly as possible; the inode table initialization process would |
|
+then be deferred until the next time the filesystem is mounted. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B init_itable=n |
|
+The lazy itable init code will wait n times the number of milliseconds it took |
|
+to zero out the previous block group's inode table. This minimizes the impact on |
|
+system performance while the filesystem's inode table is being initialized. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR discard / nodiscard |
|
+Controls whether ext4 should issue discard/TRIM commands to the underlying |
|
+block device when blocks are freed. This is useful for SSD devices and |
|
+sparse/thinly-provisioned LUNs, but it is off by default until sufficient |
|
+testing has been done. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B nouid32 |
|
+Disables 32-bit UIDs and GIDs. This is for |
|
+interoperability with older kernels which only |
|
+store and expect 16-bit values. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR block_validity / noblock_validity |
|
+This options allows to enables/disables the in-kernel facility for tracking |
|
+filesystem metadata blocks within internal data structures. This allows multi-\c |
|
+block allocator and other routines to quickly locate extents which might |
|
+overlap with filesystem metadata blocks. This option is intended for debugging |
|
+purposes and since it negatively affects the performance, it is off by default. |
|
+.TP |
|
+.BR dioread_lock / dioread_nolock |
|
+Controls whether or not ext4 should use the DIO read locking. If the |
|
+dioread_nolock option is specified ext4 will allocate uninitialized extent |
|
+before buffer write and convert the extent to initialized after IO completes. |
|
+This approach allows ext4 code to avoid using inode mutex, which improves |
|
+scalability on high speed storages. However this does not work with data |
|
+journaling and dioread_nolock option will be ignored with kernel warning. |
|
+Note that dioread_nolock code path is only used for extent-based files. |
|
+Because of the restrictions this options comprises it is off by default |
|
+(e.g.\& dioread_lock). |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B max_dir_size_kb=n |
|
+This limits the size of the directories so that any attempt to expand them |
|
+beyond the specified limit in kilobytes will cause an ENOSPC error. This is |
|
+useful in memory-constrained environments, where a very large directory can |
|
+cause severe performance problems or even provoke the Out Of Memory killer. (For |
|
+example, if there is only 512\ MB memory available, a 176\ MB directory may |
|
+seriously cramp the system's style.) |
|
+.TP |
|
+.B i_version |
|
+Enable 64-bit inode version support. This option is off by default. |
