.TP
-.BI biosize= size
-Sets the preferred buffered I/O size (default size is 64K).
-.I size
-must be expressed as the logarithm (base2) of the desired I/O size.
-Valid values for this option are 14 through 16, inclusive
-(i.e. 16K, 32K, and 64K bytes).
-On machines with a 4K pagesize, 13 (8K bytes) is also a valid
-.IR size .
-The preferred buffered I/O size can also be altered on an individual
-file basis using the
-.BR ioctl (2)
-system call.
-.TP
-.B dmapi " / " xdsm
+.BI allocsize= size
+Sets the buffered I/O end-of-file preallocation size when
+doing delayed allocation writeout (default size is 64KiB).
+Valid values for this option are page size (typically 4KiB)
+through to 1GiB, inclusive, in power-of-2 increments.
+.TP
+.BR attr2 " / " noattr2
+The options enable/disable (default is disabled for backward
+compatibility on-disk) an "opportunistic" improvement to be
+made in the way inline extended attributes are stored on-disk.
+When the new form is used for the first time (by setting or
+removing extended attributes) the on-disk superblock feature
+bit field will be updated to reflect this format being in use.
+.TP
+.B barrier
+Enables the use of block layer write barriers for writes into
+the journal and unwritten extent conversion. This allows for
+drive level write caching to be enabled, for devices that
+support write barriers.
+.TP
+.B dmapi
Enable the DMAPI (Data Management API) event callouts.
+Use with the
+.B mtpt
+option.
+.TP
+\fBgrpid\fP / \fBbsdgroups\fP and \fBnogrpid\fP / \fBsysvgroups\fP
+These options define what group ID a newly created file gets.
+When grpid is set, it takes the group ID of the directory in
+which it is created; otherwise (the default) it takes the fsgid
+of the current process, unless the directory has the setgid bit
+set, in which case it takes the gid from the parent directory,
+and also gets the setgid bit set if it is a directory itself.
+.TP
+.BI ihashsize= value
+Sets the number of hash buckets available for hashing the
+in-memory inodes of the specified mount point. If a value
+of zero is used, the value selected by the default algorithm
+will be displayed in
+.IR /proc/mounts .
+.TP
+.BR ikeep " / " noikeep
+When inode clusters are emptied of inodes, keep them around
+on the disk (ikeep) - this is the traditional XFS behaviour
+and is still the default for now. Using the noikeep option,
+inode clusters are returned to the free space pool.
+.TP
+.B inode64
+Indicates that XFS is allowed to create inodes at any location
+in the filesystem, including those which will result in inode
+numbers occupying more than 32 bits of significance. This is
+provided for backwards compatibility, but causes problems for
+backup applications that cannot handle large inode numbers.
+.TP
+.BR largeio " / " nolargeio
+If
+.B nolargeio
+is specified, the optimal I/O reported in
+st_blksize by
+.BR stat (2)
+will be as small as possible to allow user
+applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write I/O.
+If
+.B largeio
+is specified, a filesystem that has a
+.B swidth
+specified
+will return the
+.B swidth
+value (in bytes) in st_blksize. If the
+filesystem does not have a
+.B swidth
+specified but does specify
+an
+.B allocsize
+then
+.B allocsize
+(in bytes) will be returned
+instead.
+If neither of these two options are specified, then filesystem
+will behave as if
+.B nolargeio
+was specified.

.BI logbufs= value
-Set the number of in-memory log buffers.
-Valid numbers range from 2-8 inclusive.

-4 buffers for filesystems with a blocksize of 32K,
-3 buffers for filesystems with a blocksize of 16K,
-and 2 buffers for all other configurations.
-Increasing the number of buffers may increase performance on
-some workloads at the cost of the memory used for the
-additional log buffers and their associated control structures.
