Originally designed for media streaming requiring predictable latencies
Metadata and file data on separate volumes
mkfs.xfs -l logdev=log_device
-r rtdev=rt_device

mount -o logdev=log_device
,rtdev=rt_device

path
rt_device is the device for the file data, device is for the metadata
Receives limited testing and support in Linux
Note
