The
sysutils/xfsprogs
port contains the
mkfs.xfs
utility for
creating XFS file systems, and also other utilities for analyzing,
and repairing XFS file systems.
CAVEATS
The port of XFS to
Fx is currently incomplete.
Only read-only access is supported for XFS volumes.
Writing to a volume is not supported.
The
-p
flag to
mkfs.xfs
can be used to create an XFS file system which is populated with files
and other metadata.
This can be used to quickly create a read-only file system which
can be tested on
Fx .
