Oh, right, I completely forgot about that.
I would say that in addition to recommending people use logging
with ufs
(or better, zfs!), that we should also push for deprecation of the
inode
fileserver ;)
I think it's generally a good idea to stick with one server
implementation
on all platforms since that way everyone runs the same (tested)
code, but
I seem to recall the migration from inode to namei is pretty heinous
(as
in you probably can't do it in place and need to bring up another
server
and move everything).
Nothing wrong with leaving the code in there, just don't make it the
default.
I get the feeling that someone with a large amount of data in inode
form might have the impetus to write up a migration tool ;)
