I know that most people on this list consider XFS to be rock-solid reliable, but I keep reading from time to time that it is not perfect. Excerpt from a recent posting on Gentoo.
----------------- >From C. Candell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You need to emerge xfs-sources for support XFS of filesystems. I've been using XFS for a few months now, but I wouldnt use it on a computer which is not connected to a UPS since I've had a few nasty accidents with XFS where shutting down in the middle of an emerge has left my system crippled (on a computer NOT on a UPS). If you have a UPS then I suggest you give the XFS filesystem a try... but please make sure to read more about it, since you can loose data if you are not careful and do a hard shutdown in the middle of something important. ----------------- PS: I'm not trying to start an fs war (I have nothing against XFS, other than the fact that it's not yet part of the stable kernel) - just reporting feedback. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Athlon-XP gentoo 1.4_rc2 kde 3.1 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
