The CTERA next generation file system is enabled by default on all new edge filer deployments. This XFS-based next-generation file system makes operations such renaming and disaster recovery faster than the old XFS file system.
Note
Currently, the next generation file system does not support using the macOS Spotlight feature.
For existing deployments, after upgrading the edge filer, rebooting the edge filer automates the process of preparing the edge filer to use the next generation file system. To enable the next generation file system, contact CTERA Support.
