First up is a new autonomous self-healing capability being introduced with XFS in Linux 7.0. This health monitoring feature is described by Darrick Wong in its patch series as: "This patchset builds new functionality to deliver live information about filesystem health events to userspace. This is done by creating an anonymous file that can be read() for events by userspace programs. Events are captured by hooking various parts of XFS and iomap so that metadata health failures, file I/O errors, and major changes in filesystem state (unmounts, shutdowns, etc.) can be observed by programs.
