### Consistency Guarantees

MinIO follows strict **read-after-write** and **list-after-write** consistency model for all i/o operations both in distributed and standalone modes. This consistency model is only guaranteed if you use disk filesystems such as xfs, zfs or btrfs etc.. for distributed setup.

**In our tests we also found ext4 does not honor POSIX O_DIRECT/Fdatasync semantics, ext4 trades performance for consistency guarantees. Please avoid ext4 in your setup.**

### Test using MinIO Client `mc`

`mc` provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services.

The following commands set a local alias, validate the server information, create a bucket, copy data to that bucket, and list the contents of the bucket.

```sh

        return container.lookup(ModelProcessor.class);
    }

    public void setFileSystem(FileSystem fileSystem) {
        this.fileSystem = fileSystem;
    }

		var hint string
		if endpoint.URL != nil {
			hint = fmt.Sprintf("Drive '%s' does not support O_DIRECT flags, MinIO erasure coding requires filesystems with O_DIRECT support", endpoint.Path)
		} else {
			hint = "Drives do not support O_DIRECT flags, MinIO erasure coding requires filesystems with O_DIRECT support"
		}
		logger.Fatal(config.ErrUnsupportedBackend(err).Hint("%s", hint), "Unable to initialize backend")

* Fix an issue where filesystems are not unmounted when a backend is not reachable and returns EIO. ([#67097](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67097), [@chakri-nelluri](https://github.com/chakri-nelluri))

`LocalStorageCapacityIsolationFSQuotaMonitoring=true`. For ext4fs filesystems, create the filesystem with `mkfs.ext4 -O project <block_device>` and run `tune2fs -Q prjquota `block device`; XFS filesystems need no additional preparation. The filesystem must be mounted with option `project` in `/etc/fstab`. If the primary partition is the root filesystem, add `rootflags=pquota` to the GRUB config file.

- XFS-filesystems are now force-formatted (option `-f`) in order to avoid problems being formatted due to detection of magic super-blocks. This aligns with the behaviour of formatting of ext3/4 filesystems. ([#104923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104923), [@davidkarlsen](https://github.com/davidkarlsen))
