Hi, > XFS is not prone to power failures anymore or it's not an issue on uSD (without big cache as normal drives)?
i thought it is same to btrfs? i am using xfs on desktop for storing data like films, audio and other big and non-critical data, have no problems for 5 years. i've heard about 0 files, after power failure, which were somehow intelligently described (and seem fixed http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_Why_do_I_see_binary_NULLS_in_some_files_after_recovery_when_I_unplugged_the_power.3F ) i think this is only on writes. i took that into accout, using to for / and /usr, which are changed only on system upgrades. why do you think xfs is less proof to to power failures that others? >> - flash dying >no big problem on replacable uSD yeah, it's much better to replace sd once in year for example but have +30% r/w speed during year. >> - problem with bootloaders >if you load kernel from different partition then I don't see any problem with brtfs rootfs. yeah, I used ext2 for /boot -> uboot is happy. i even used GPT for fun, so finally my partitions numbered 1,2,3,4,... without 'extendeds' so far, i didn't notice some significant difference except it only fsck /boot for a long time.
