This option need + work with strictatime. +data=ordered (*) All data are forced directly out to the main file + system prior to its metadata being committed to the + journal. +data=writeback Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written + into the main file system after its metadata has been + committed to the journal. +preferred_slot=0(*) During mount, try to use this filesystem slot first. If + it is in use by another node, the first empty one found + will be chosen. Invalid values will be ignored. +commit=nrsec (*) Ocfs2 can be told to sync all its data and metadata + every 'nrsec' seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. + This means that if you lose your power, you will lose + as much as the latest 5 seconds of work (your + filesystem will not be damaged though, thanks to the + journaling). This default value (or any low value) + will hurt performance, but it's good for data-safety. + Setting it to 0 will have the same effect as leaving + it at the default (5 seconds). + Setting it to very large values will improve + performance. +localalloc=8(*) Allows custom localalloc size in MB. If the value is too + large, the fs will silently revert it to the default. +localflocks This disables cluster aware flock. +inode64 Indicates that Ocfs2 is allowed to create inodes at + any location in the filesystem, including those which + will result in inode numbers occupying more than 32 + bits of significance. +user_xattr (*) Enables Extended User Attributes. +nouser_xattr Disables Extended User Attributes. +acl Enables POSIX Access Control Lists support. +noacl (*) Disables POSIX Access Control Lists support. +resv_level=2 (*) Set how aggressive allocation reservations will be. + Valid values are between 0 (reservations off) to 8 + (maximum space for reservations). +dir_resv_level= (*) By default, directory reservations will scale with file + reservations - users should rarely need to change this + value. If allocation reservations are turned off, this + option will have no effect. +coherency=full (*) Disallow concurrent O_DIRECT writes, cluster inode + lock will be taken to force other nodes drop cache, + therefore full cluster coherency is guaranteed even + for O_DIRECT writes. +coherency=buffered Allow concurrent O_DIRECT writes without EX lock among + nodes, which gains high performance at risk of getting + stale data on other nodes. |
