The current default CTERA Edge Filer file system is the XFS file system. You can enable the XFS-based next-generation file system and operations such renaming and disaster recovery are faster than the XFS file system.
Currently, the next generation file system does not support using the macOS Spotlight feature.
New CTERA Edge Filer installations require running commands before connecting the edge filer to a portal (before running the setup wizard). For details, contact CTERA Support.
For existing deployments, from edge filer version 7.6.x, 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.
