XFS

XFS is a high-performance, scalable file system designed for Unix-like operating systems. It was originally developed by Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) and later open-sourced. XFS is known for its robustness, advanced features, and suitability for large-scale storage environments.

File System Creation and Management

Creating an XFS file system can be done using the mkfs.xfs command:

mkfs.xfs /dev/sdX

To mount an XFS file system, use the mount command:

mount -t xfs /dev/sdX /mnt/point

Grow the filesystem:

xfs_growfs /mnt

Get information on filesystem:
