Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install xfsprogs on Fedora 34.

What is xfsprogs

A set of commands to use the XFS filesystem, including mkfs.xfs. XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance and scalability. This implementation is on-disk compatible with the IRIX version of XFS. xfsprogs 5.10.0 2.fc34 x86_64 1.0 M xfsprogs-5.10.0-2.fc34.src.rpm fedora Utilities for managing the XFS filesystem https GPL+ and LGPLv2+ A set of commands to use the XFS filesystem, including mkfs.xfs.
