One argument for a filesystem other than ext2/3 is that those have an
8TB limit. There are currently raid arrays on the market that have a
12TB capacity.
I suppose the RedHat response would be to run GFS? But we only have one
server, not a cluster. And it seems overly-complex considering the
existence of XFS.
XFS has other advantages too:
- it's supported by other distros, so there's no vendor lock-in
There is especially no vendor lock-in with ext{2,3,4}, and someone from
RH has already stated RH doesn't wish to acquire the resources (people)
to support other filesystems, a position I understand well enough.
If you have a need for larger-than-8 Tb filesystems, express it via your
Red Hat support contact.
