Two different xfs filesystems on two different Fedora.

  1. Why one of them records Birth(crtime) in the inode and why the other one doesn't?
  2. How to find the configuration/attribute differences between the two filesystems?

#1 XFS v5 (Fedora 30):

  • Can you edit your question and add the options with which each are mounted (e.g., the output of the mount command for the given filesystems? Commented Jun 29, 2020 at 22:15

    Probably they are running different kernel versions and only one of them adds this info. Commented Jun 30, 2020 at 5:24
