Discovery installation fails with error: kernel does not support overlay fs: overlay: the backing xfs filesystem is formatted without d_type support
Issue
-
How to change
ftypeof existing xfs filesystem? -
During installation of Discovery an error is raised indicating that the filesystem does not have
d_typeenabled and installation fails. -
Installation of Discovery cannot be completed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 environment
- Discovery reports that
d_typefilesystem is required but this requirement is not listed as a dependency in the documentation - Kernel does not support
overlayfilesystem; the backingxfsfile system is formatted withoutd_typesupport, which leads to incorrect behavior
Tried to deploy Discovery/QPC and faced this error :
