I guess that updatedb thing reinforces my arguement about not seeing any mixed load tests. ext3 handles these situations pretty good, maybe XFS does not... By the way, I read that EXT4 should allow for EXT3>EXT4 upgrades. One(of many) nice things about EXT4 is delayed writes which essentially me

true enough. I have been doing a lot of expirimentation with opensolaris and zfs for backuppc. It is a bit of a pain getting backuppc working on opensolaris, specifically CPAN stuff. I am still in testing but ZFS seems to be an ideal filesystem for backuppc. SUN claims that it is essentially b

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC doesn't do nightly backups anymore

2008-12-20 Thread Guido Schmidt
Hi all, I run BackupPC successfully for some time. AFAIR I haven't made any changes in the config, but now the nightly backups are not started anymore, while Pool and Cpool cleaning jobs are. Even though some backups are overdue, all hosts are marked as idle (both in column "State" and "Last att

I would suggest ( on linux anyway ) that you stick with ext3 unless it is incapable of handling your pool data until ext4 is marked stable. Then look at btfs or tux3 and see what their roadmaps say. ext3 is a good filesystem. It is fast and reliable. XFS and JFS are ports from other systems and
