What filesystem should I use? It seems ext4 and reiserfs are the only viable options. I just hate the slowness of ext3 for rm -rf hardlink jobs, while xfs and btrfs seem to be very unstable.
- How stable is XFS? - Is reiserfs (much) better at hard-link removal? - Is reiserfs (much) less stable compared to ext4? BackupPC seems to recommend reiserfs although many sites say it's still an unstable file system that does not have much lifespan left. My first back-up has been taking 12 hours for a small server and it's still processing... there's only a few gigabytes of data on the Linux machine. There should be more than enough power as rsnapshot back-ups always were done in quick fashion. Even Bacula was able to do back-ups in less than 10 minutes. Also, I removed a few backups via the shell script from the wiki... but I still see many references to the old test hosts? How can I clean up the entire installation? I don't mind removing all data, I just don't want to waste back-up space on previously back-upped servers that have been removed. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
