# XFS storage format

To provide a safer and more manageable network environment for your machine, as well as to support a wider range of application scenarios on our platform, we require you to adjust your disk format to XFS. Please refer to the content below for guidance on how to set it up.

#### Install XFS tools

```Bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xfsprogs
```

#### Unmount the Target Partition

Before formatting, ensure that the target partition is not mounted. Use the `umount` command to unmount the partition. Replace `/dev/sdXN` with your actual partition.

```Bash
sudo umount /dev/sdXN
```

#### Format the Partition as XFS

Use the `mkfs.xfs` command to format the partition. Please confirm the partition path again, as this operation will delete all data on the partition.

```Bash
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sdXN
```

#### Mount the XFS Partition

After formatting is complete, you can mount the new XFS filesystem to a directory. First, create a mount point (if you don't have one already).

```Bash
sudo mkdir /data
```

#### Update `/etc/fstab`

To automatically mount this XFS partition at system startup, you need to edit the `/etc/fstab` file and add a new entry. Back up the `/etc/fstab` file.

```Bash
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
```

Edit the `/etc/fstab` file using a text editor, for example, using nano.

```Bash
sudo nano /etc/fstab
```

Add the following line (replace `/dev/sdXN` with your partition and `/mnt/myxfs` with your mount point).

```Bash
...
/dev/sdXN  /data  xfs  defaults,pquota  0  0
...
```

Save the file and exit the editor. 

Mount the XFS partition.

```Bash
sudo mount /data
```
