xfs_spaceman(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_spaceman(8)
xfs_spaceman - show free space information about an XFS filesystem
xfs_spaceman [ -c cmd ] file
xfs_spaceman -V
xfs_spaceman reports and controls free space usage in an XFS
filesystem.
-c cmd xfs_spaceman commands may be run interactively (the
default) or as arguments on the command line. Multiple -c
arguments may be given. The commands are run in the
sequence given, then the program exits.
freesp [ -dgrs ] [-a agno]... [ -b | -e bsize | -h bsize | -m
factor ]
With no arguments, freesp shows a histogram of all free
space extents in the filesystem. The command takes the
following options:
-a agno
Collect free space information from this allocation
group. This option can be specified multiple times
to collect from multiple groups.
-b This argument establishes that the histogram bin
sizes are successive powers of two. This is the
default, and is mutually exclusive with the -e, -h,
and -m options.
-d Print debugging information such as the raw free
space extent information.
-g Print the free space block and extent counts for
each AG.
-e bsize
Set all histogram bin sizes to a specific value.
This option is mutually exclusive with the -b, -h,
and -m options.
-h bsize
Create a histogram bin with a lower bound of this
value. The upper bound of this bin will be one less
than the lower bound of the next highest histogram
bin. This option can be given multiple times to
control the exact bin sizes. This option is
mutually exclusive with the -b, -e, and -m options.
-m factor
Create each histogram bin with a size that is this
many times the size of the prvious bin created.
This option is mutually exclusive with the -b, -e,
and -h options.
-r Query the realtime device for free space
information.
-s Display a summary of the free space information
found.
info Displays selected geometry information about the
filesystem. The opened file must be a mount point of a XFS
filesystem. The output will have the same format that
xfs_info(8) prints when querying a filesystem.
health [ -a agno] [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -i inum ] [ -n ] [ -q ] [ paths
]
Reports the health of the given group of filesystem
metadata.
-a agno
Report on the health of the given allocation group.
-c Scan all inodes in the filesystem and report each
file's health status. If the -a option is given,
scan only the inodes in that AG.
-f Report on the health of metadata that affect the
entire filesystem.
-i inum
Report on the health of a specific inode.
-n When reporting on the health of a file, try to
report the full file path, if possible. This option
is disabled by default to minimize runtime.
-q Report only unhealthy metadata.
paths
Report on the health of the files at the given path.
help [ command ]
Display a brief description of one or all commands.
prealloc [ -u id ] [ -g id ] [ -p id ] [ -m minlen ] [ -s ]
Removes speculative preallocation. If no -u, -g, or -p
options are given, this command acts on all files. The
command takes the following options:
-u uid
Clear all speculative preallocations for files with
this user id. This option can be given in
combination with the -g and -p options.
-g gid
Clear all speculative preallocations for files with
this group id. This option can be given in
combination with the -u and -p options.
-p pid
Clear all speculative preallocations for files with
this project id. This option can be given in
combination with the -u and -g options.
-m minlen
Ignore all files smaller than this size. Units can
be supplied for this argument.
-s Wait for removal to complete.
print Display a list of all open files.
quit Exit xfs_spaceman.
trim ( -a agno | -f | offset length ) [ -m minlen ]
Instructs the underlying storage device to release all
storage that may be backing free space in the filesystem.
The command takes the following options: (One of -a, -f, or
the offset/length pair are required.)
-a agno
Trim free space extents in the given allocation
group. This option is mutually exclusive with the
-f option and the offset/length options.
-f Trim all free space in the filesystem. This option
is mutually exclusive with the -a option and the
offset/length options.
option, length
Trim all free space within the physical range
defined by the offset and length from this
filesystem. Units can be appended to these
arguments. This option is mutually exclusive with
the -a and -f options.
-m minlen
Do not trim free space extents shorter than this
length. Units can be appended to this argument.
