Dear Rolf,
As long as the filesystem supports hardlinks, you should be fine. Nowadays distributions often use ext4 as standard. In the past, we run dirvish on file systems up to a size of ~25 TB reliably with XFS - altough for file systems bigger than that (currently more than >250 TB in one volume) we chose ZFS on Linux due to reliability reasons (several times corrupt filesystems where our only explanation was the huge size and many read/write operations during our backups using dirvish - that's why we then switched to ZFS). Kind regards, Christian ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Rolf-Werner Eilert <[email protected]> Sent: 05 May 2017 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dirvish] Other file systems Recently I found that newer Linux breeds (here: OpenSuse) use Btrfs and Xfs as standard file systems. Is there anything I would have to care for when I format a dirvish backup HD for it? Would I have to use the same fs or would good old ext4 do? Thanks for your hints!
