This command mounts a (pseudo) filesystem of type hugetlbfs on the directory
|
|
|
/mnt/huge. Any files created on /mnt/huge uses huge pages. The uid and gid
|
|
|
options sets the owner and group of the root of the file system. By default
|
|
|
the uid and gid of the current process are taken. The mode option sets the
|
|
|
mode of root of file system to value & 01777. This value is given in octal.
|
|
|
-By default the value 0755 is picked. The size option sets the maximum value of
|
|
|
-memory (huge pages) allowed for that filesystem (/mnt/huge). The size is
|
|
|
-rounded down to HPAGE_SIZE. The option nr_inodes sets the maximum number of
|
|
|
-inodes that /mnt/huge can use. If the size or nr_inodes option is not
|
|
|
-provided on command line then no limits are set. For size and nr_inodes
|
|
|
-options, you can use [G|g]/[M|m]/[K|k] to represent giga/mega/kilo. For
|
|
|
-example, size=2K has the same meaning as size=2048.
|
|
|
+By default the value 0755 is picked. If the paltform supports multiple huge
|
|
|
+page sizes, the pagesize option can be used to specify the huge page size and
|
|
|
+associated pool. pagesize is specified in bytes. If pagesize is not specified
|
|
|
+the paltform's default huge page size and associated pool will be used. The
|
|
|
+size option sets the maximum value of memory (huge pages) allowed for that
|
|
|
+filesystem (/mnt/huge). The size option can be specified in bytes, or as a
|
|
|
+percentage of the specified huge page pool (nr_hugepages). The size is
|
|
|
+rounded down to HPAGE_SIZE boundary. The min_size option sets the minimum
|
|
|
+value of memory (huge pages) allowed for the filesystem. min_size can be
|
|
|
+specified in the same way as size, either bytes or a percentage of the
|
|
|
+huge page pool. At mount time, the number of huge pages specified by
|
|
|
+min_size are reserved for use by the filesystem. If there are not enough
|
|
|
+free huge pages available, the mount will fail. As huge pages are allocated
|
|
|
+to the filesystem and freed, the reserve count is adjusted so that the sum
|
|
|
+of allocated and reserved huge pages is always at least min_size. The option
|
|
|
+nr_inodes sets the maximum number of inodes that /mnt/huge can use. If the
|
|
|
+size, min_size or nr_inodes option is not provided on command line then
|
|
|
+no limits are set. For pagesize, size, min_size and nr_inodes options, you
|
|
|
+can use [G|g]/[M|m]/[K|k] to represent giga/mega/kilo. For example, size=2K
|
|
|
+has the same meaning as size=2048.

While read system calls are supported on files that reside on hugetlb
|

file systems, write system calls are not.
