Hi, folks,

CentOS 6.6 (well, just updated with CR). I have some xfs filesystems on

a RAID. They've been mounted with the option of defaults. Will it break the whole thing if I now change that to inode64, or was that something I needed to do when the fs was created, or is there some conversion I can run that won't break everything?

you can enable that option at any time, but once you've used it, you can't go back.

note that 64 bit inodes cause a minor issue with NFS if you have shares exported other than the root. there's an easy workaround.
