Creating an XFS File System
You can use the mkfs.xfs command to create an XFS file system, for example:
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/vg0/lv0
Running the previous command produces the following output:
meta-data=/dev/vg0/lv0 isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=8473312 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=271145984, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
The following examples shows how you would create an XFS file system with a stripe-unit size of 32 KB and 6 units per stripe. To do so, you would specify the su and sw arguments to the -d option:
sudo mkfs.xfs -d su=32k,sw=6 /dev/vg0/lv1
