There are some other considerations. XFS has a good track record for large numerical calculations, video production, and remote sensing. These are applications where the data are lost due to downtime recovering from a crash are much larger than the data that was "in flight" when the crash occurred. XFS puts priority on metadata consistency, so filesystems are up and running very quickly after a crash. There are applications where losing a few bytes of data should "never" happen, even it results in substantial downtime. > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- George N.
