 When mounting an XFS filesystem, the following options are accepted.
 
-  biosize=size
-	Sets the preferred buffered I/O size (default size is 64K).
-	"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 size.
-	The preferred buffered I/O size can also be altered on an
-	individual file basis using the ioctl(2) system call.
+  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.
+
+  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.
+
+  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.
+
+  dmapi
+	Enable the DMAPI (Data Management API) event callouts.
+	Use with the "mtpt" option.
+
+  grpid/bsdgroups and nogrpid/sysvgroups
+	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.
+
+  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 /proc/mounts.

 	inode clusters are returned to the free space pool.
 
+  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.
+
+  largeio/nolargeio
+	If "nolargeio" is specified, the optimal I/O reported in
+	st_blksize by stat(2) will be as small as possible to allow user
+	applications to avoid inefficient read/modify/write I/O.
+	If "largeio" specified, a filesystem that has a "swidth" specified
+	will return the "swidth" value (in bytes) in st_blksize. If the
+	filesystem does not have a "swidth" specified but does specify
+	an "allocsize" then "allocsize" (in bytes) will be returned
+	instead.
+	If neither of these two options are specified, then filesystem
+	will behave as if "nolargeio" was specified.
+
   logbufs=value
 	Set the number of in-memory log buffers.  Valid numbers range
 	from 2-8 inclusive.
 	The default value is 8 buffers for filesystems with a
-	blocksize of 64K, 4 buffers for filesystems with a blocksize
