cvsup for amd64?

[Mark Ferlatte]

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?

[Mark Ferlatte]

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.

Filesystem stability?

[Mark Ferlatte]

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?
