How to install xfs and create xfs file system on Debian/Ubuntu Linux

To install the XFS filesystem utilities and create an XFS filesystem on Debian or Ubuntu Linux, follow these steps:

1. Update the package manager's package list by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

2. Install the XFS filesystem utilities by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install xfsprogs

This will install the XFS filesystem utilities and any dependencies required.

3. To create an XFS filesystem on a disk or partition, first identify the device name of the disk or partition using the lsblk command. For example, if the device you want to create the filesystem on is /dev/sdb1, the device name is sdb1.

4. Run the following command to create an XFS filesystem on the device:

sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/<device>

Replace <device> with the device name of the disk or partition you want to create the filesystem on.

5. To verify that the XFS filesystem was created successfully, run the following command:

sudo xfs_admin -u /dev/<device>

This will display information about the XFS filesystem on the device.

That's it! The XFS filesystem is now installed and configured on your Debian or Ubuntu Linux system. You can use it to store and manage your data on the specified device.
