----- Original Message ----- | We're looking at getting an HBR (that's a technical term, honkin' big | RAID). What I'm considering is, rather than chopping it up into 14TB | or | 16TB filesystems, of using xfs for really big filesystems. The | question | that's come up is: what's the state of xfs on CentOS6? I've seen a | number | of older threads seeing problems with it - has that mostly been | resolved? | How does it work if we have some *huge* files, and lots and lots of | smaller files? | | mark |
It works well and will be the default for RHEL 7, so that should say something. However, with respect to file system size. Be prepared to have a lot of memory for a file system that is large and a lot of files should you ever need to do a file system check. ;) -- James A.
