XFS does not yet [25] provide direct support for snapshots, as it currently expects the snapshot process to be implemented by the volume manager. Taking a snapshot of an XFS filesystem involves temporarily halting I/O to the filesystem using the xfs_freeze utility, having the volume manager perform the actual snapshot, and then resuming I/O to ...
The layout of a disk with the GUID Partition Table. In this example, each logical block is 512 bytes in size and each entry has 128 bytes. The corresponding partition entries are assumed to be located in LBA 2–33. Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block.
The on-disk layout of VxFS is versioned and upgradeable while the file system is mounted. This file system has gone through ten versions. Version 2 added support for filesets, dynamic inode allocation and ACLs. Layouts 1-3 stopped being supported in VxFS 4.0. Version 4 added support for storage checkpoints and for Veritas Cluster File System ...

The CXFS file system (Clustered XFS) is a proprietary shared disk file system designed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) specifically to be used in a storage area network (SAN) environment. A significant difference between CXFS and other shared disk file systems is that data and metadata are managed separately from each other. CXFS provides direct ...

Allocate-on-flush (also called delayed allocation) is a file system feature implemented in HFS+, [1] XFS, Reiser4, ZFS, Btrfs, and ext4. [2] The feature also closely resembles an older technique that Berkeley's UFS called "block reallocation".
