--- Original Message ----- | Hi all, | | I was recently poking more into the inode64 mount option for XFS | filesystems. I seem to recall a comment that you could remount a | filesystem with inode64, but then a colleague ran into issues where | he | did that but was still out of inodes. So, I did more research, and | found this posting to the XFS list: | | http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2008-05/msg01409.html | | So for people checking the CentOS list archives, I hope this comes up | in | a search. (It was not easy to find the above post!) You must umount | and re-mount an XFS filesystem in order to have the inode64 option | work | properly; a simple mount -o remount,inode64 is not sufficient. (That | posting is a bit old; if I have a chance I will check in on the XFS | mailing list.) | | --keith
With XFS there are a few options for which a simple remount will not work. Quotas are another example where the option will not work unless you fully unmount the file system.
