2013-01-04 Thread Travis Schwenke

t supports hard links. There's plenty of discussion on > this but I'm quite happy with ext4 and its default options. Yeah, everything is ext3 or ext4 (actually data02 is the only one ext3 and that is since it came straight out of my old "server" that died and was ext3 already)

2013-01-14 Thread Travis Schwenke
