17 <title>Description</title>
18 <para>The <emphasis role="bold">xfs_size_check</emphasis> command, when run on a file server machine that runs
19 IRIX version 6.2 or higher and uses XFS-formatted partitions as server
20 partitions (conventionally mounted at <replaceable>/vicep</replaceable> directories), verifies
21 that each partition uses 512-byte inodes. AFS stores information in the
22 inodes on server partitions, and the 256-byte inode size that XFS uses by
23 default is not large enough.</para>
27 <title>Cautions</title>
28 <para>This command is available on in the AFS distribution for IRIX system types
29 that can use XFS-formatted partitions as server partitions.</para>
34 <para>If all server partitions are properly configured, the command produces no
35 output. Otherwise, it prints the following header:</para>
38 Need to remake the following partitions:
41 <para>and then the following message for each partition on which to run the IRIX
42 <emphasis role="bold">mkfs</emphasis> command with the indicated options:</para>
45 &lt;device&gt;: mkfs -t xfs -i size=512 -l size=4000b &lt;device&gt;
48 <para>where <device> is in a format like <computeroutput>/dev/dsk/dks0d0s0</computeroutput> for a single disk
49 partition or <computeroutput>/dev/xlv/xlv0</computeroutput> for a logical volume.</para>
