It is. mkfs.xfs defaults to 4k blocks, so XFS filesystem are, by default, compatible across all supported architectures. RHEL would not choose a default fs with this sort of incompatibility across arches. Block > page size is a different problem vs what is described in this thread. If you /manually/ create a large block size fs, overriding the defaults, then yes you will have a compatibility problem on smaller page systems. That's not the same as "you cannot create any btrfs filesystem that is usable on both 4k and 64k page systems" -Eric _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
