Ideas for XFS

Future Directions for XFS

Dave Chinner's ideas from 2008:

• Improving inode Caching

• Improving Metadata Performance By Reducing Journal Overhead

• Reliable Detection and Repair of Metadata Corruption

Other ideas:

• Splitting project quota support from group quota support

• Assigning project quota to a linux container

• Support discarding of unused sectors (status: completed)

• Superblock flag for when 64-bit inodes are present (see xfs: regarding the inode64 mount option)

• Wishlist: Please integrate xfs_irecover or provide inode recovery feature

• Host Aware SMR architecture
