XFS文件系统简介
维基百科关于XFS的简介如下：
XFS is a high-performance 64-bit journaling file system created by Silicon Graphics, Inc (SGI) in 1993.[6] It was the default file system in SGI's IRIX operating system starting with its version 5.3. XFS was ported to the Linux kernel in 2001; as of June 2014, XFS is supported by most Linux distributions, some of which use it as the default file system.
XFS excels in the execution of parallel input/output (I/O) operations due to its design, which is based on allocation groups (a type of subdivision of the physical volumes in which XFS is used- also shortened to AGs). Because of this, XFS enables extreme scalability of I/O threads, file system bandwidth, and size of files and of the file system itself when spanning multiple physical storage devices. XFS ensures the consistency of data by employing metadata journaling and supporting write barriers. Space allocation is performed via extents with data structures stored in B+ trees, improving the overall performance of the file system, especially when handling large files. Delayed allocation assists in the prevention of file system fragmentation; online defragmentation is also supported. A feature unique to XFS is the pre-allocation of I/O bandwidth at a pre-determined rate; this is suitable for many real-time applications. However, this feature was supported only on IRIX, and only with specialized hardware.
A notable XFS user, NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division, takes advantage of these capabilities deploying two 300+ terabyte XFS filesystems on two SGI Altix archival storage servers, each of which is directly attached to multiple Fibre Channel disk arrays.[7]
百度百科上关于XFS的简介：
XFS一种高性能的日志文件系统，最早于1993年，由Silicon Graphics为他们的IRIX操作系统而开发，是IRIX 5.3版的默认文件系统。2000年5月，Silicon Graphics以GNU通用公共许可证发布这套系统的源代码，之后被移植到Linux 内核上。XFS 特别擅长处理大文件，同时提供平滑的数据传输。
XFS相比于其它文件系统（ext3、ext4等）的优缺点：
XFS是高性能文件系统，由于它的高性能，XFS成为了许多企业级系统的首选，特别是有大量数据，需要结构化伸缩性和稳定性的。例如，RHEL/CentOS 7 和Oracle Linux将XFS作为默认文件系统，SUSE/openSUSE已经为XFS做了长期支持。
XFS有许多独特的性能提升功能使他从众多文件系统中脱颖而出，像可伸缩/并行 IO，元数据日志，热碎片整理，IO 暂停/恢复，延迟分配等。
XFS 文件系统有一些缺陷，例如它不能压缩，删除大量文件时性能低下
创建XFS文件系统
如果系统没有XFS系统工具集，那就必须必须安装（命令如下）：
#sudo yum install xfsprogs
其实很多Linux系统将XFS作为默认文件系统，所以无需安装，如下所示， Centos 7.3就无需安装
[root@mylnx008 ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
创建XFS格式分区，如下测试所示， 新增了一个300多G的磁盘
[root@mylnx008 ~]# fdisk -l
