cvsup for amd64?
I notice that cvsup isn't in the Debian amd64 distro yet. Is there a place where I can find out why? I'm trying to decide if it's a problem that I may be able to solve and contribute back, or if it's just totally impossible and I should spend the effort to not use cvsup.

Re: Filesystem stability?
Thanks to all of you for your replies. In the history of my site, we've gone through 4 filesystems: initially, we were ext2, then ext3, then ReiserFS 3.6, and finally XFS. Each of these were chosen for a reason (ext3 because we needed journaling, ReiserFS because we needed higher performance for lots of small files, XFS because we couldn't eat ReiserFS's bad unlink performance). XFS has, in general, been pretty good to us. However, given that we've seen some "odd" behavior with it on 32bit, and given that SGI doesn't appear to be maintaining XFS much anymore, I believe we will be switching to something else. I'm not sure exactly what, yet, but it appears that XFS isn't a good choice anymore. M signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Filesystem stability?
I've heard rumours that some of the Linux filesystems aren't as stable as they should be on AMD64; in particular, I've heard of bad things happening with JFS and XFS. That being said, I can't find anything even approaching authoritative, so I thought I'd ask: What filesystems are you guys using, and anyone had any bad experiences?
