Field | Description |

Enter the size of the intent log in the multiples of size byte. | |
Select an option to control the timing of flushing the VxFS intent log and other metadata to disk. This affects when operations are guaranteed persistent after a system failure. | |
Select the required mount I/O feature. | |
Select the required option. This implements an algorithm that allows read ahead to detect more elaborate patterns (such as increasing or decreasing read offsets, or multithreaded file accesses) in addition to simple sequential reads. | |
Enter the size of the allocation unit. | |
Enter a value for the initial extent. | |
Enter the maximum size of an extent. | |
Select the required option. For a file managed by a Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) application, this option preallocates disk blocks before data is migrated back into the file system. | |

Enter the preferred write request size. | |
Enter the number of parallel write requests of size write_pref_io that can be outstanding at one time. | |
Enter the maximum number of inodes to place on an inode aging list. | |
Enter the minimum size to qualify a deleted inode for inode aging. | |
