Tune2fs -o large_xattr fails because it's an unknown option. I asked James Simmons and the mkfs.lustre option for large_xattr fails as well. We recently had to enable this on our Lustre 2.4 filesystem because we forgot to enable it at format time. </p> LUDOC-193

Wide Striping feature flag is incorrect in documentation

Bug Minor Resolved Fixed James Nunez Jason Hill Tue, 29 Oct 2013 12:57:22 +0000 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 18:24:17 +0000 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 18:24:17 +0000 0 2 <p>Jason, </p> <p>There is room for confusion around the large_xattr/ea_inode feature. Right now, you can use "large_xattr" and "ea_inode" interchangeably in tune2fs and with mkfs.lustre, i.e. "tune2fs -O large_xattr ..." and "tune2fs -O ea_inode" produce the same result and the same is true for mkfs. In either case, you will see "ea_inode" in the filesystem features list with dumpe2fs. I just tested this with the latest 2.5.0 and 2.4.1. </p> <p>If your experience differs from what I've said above, please let me know what version of the code you are seeing this in and I will look into it. </p> <p>I know that there is a possibility that only large_xattr will be used in the future, but that has not happened yet. Thus, I agree that the documentation should be updated. I will post a patch to the documentation later today.</p> <p>Thanks,<br/> James</p> <p>EDIT: What I should have said is, if your experience differs from what I outlined above, please let me know the version of e2fsprogs you are using. I used version 1.42.7.wc1. </p> <p>Proposed patch at: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/8297/" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/8297/</a></p> <p>Landed in latest Lustre Documentation.</p> Development Rank 1|hzw767: Rank (Obsolete) 11306 Severity
