For me, it goes like this: The engineering tools that I support, are only supported on the latest 2 versions of whatever RHEL is available. So as soon as RHEL6 was released, it means RHEL4 is no longer supported. Now it's time for me to upgrade to RHEL5. When RHEL7 comes out, we'll upgrade to RHEL6. For anybody who cares about performance, however, ext4 is a huge win over ext3. Why, just the other day, I did "rm -rf" on a huge directory. The rm command ran for several hours. That is a thing of the past with ext4. But it's still nowhere near as good as ZFS. ;-) I hope BTRFS becomes stable enough for use in the not too distant future. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
