XFS doesn't have the necessary metadata in it's directory structure to supply this information. That is, it requires an on-disk format change to support this. We plan to support this in the future when we change the directory structure to include CRCs, but that is some time off.... mkfs.xfs -n ftype=1 (which is now a default-on option) should enable dt_type reporting. |
