Wow, that's an old warning. > I know that I can't use btrfs snapshots, but is it really that bad? No. Just ignore it; I made bug 1995 to do something with that warning. xfs is perfectly data-safe (or at least Ceph uses data-safe semantics with it :p), and how it performs under different workloads is something we need to benchmark. -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
