ioctl_xfs_rtgroup_geometry - Man Page
query XFS realtime group geometry information
Synopsis
#include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>
int ioctl(int fd, XFS_IOC_RTGROUP_GEOMETRY, struct xfs_rtgroup_geometry *arg);
Description
This XFS ioctl retrieves the geometry information for a given realtime group. The geometry information is conveyed in a structure of the following form:
struct xfs_rtgroup_geometry { __u32 rg_number; __u32 rg_length; __u32 rg_sick; __u32 rg_checked; __u32 rg_flags; __u32 rg_reserved[27]; };
- rg_number
The caller must set this field to the index of the realtime group that the caller wishes to learn about.
- rg_length
The length of the realtime group is returned in this field, in units of filesystem blocks. rg_flags The caller can set this field to change the operational behavior of the ioctl. Currently no flags are defined, so this field must be zero.
- rg_reserved and rg_pad
All reserved fields will be set to zero on return.
The fields rg_sick and rg_checked indicate the relative health of various realtime group metadata:
- If a given sick flag is set in rg_sick, then that piece of metadata has been observed to be damaged. The same bit will be set in rg_checked.
- If a given sick flag is set in rg_checked and is not set in rg_sick, then that piece of metadata has been checked and is not faulty.
- If a given sick flag is not set in rg_checked, then no conclusion can be made.
The following flags apply to these fields:
- XFS_RTGROUP_GEOM_SICK_SUPER
Realtime group superblock.
- XFS_RTGROUP_GEOM_SICK_BITMAP
Realtime bitmap for this group.
- XFS_RTGROUP_GEOM_SICK_SUMMARY
Realtime summary for this group.
Return Value
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
Errors
Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:
- EFSBADCRC
Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.
- EFSCORRUPTED
Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.
- EINVAL
The specified realtime group number is not valid for this filesystem.
- EIO
An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.
