I can't find it. Several pages on gentoo.org actually point to it's default support of xfs as one of the reasons it's better than redhat. Not that i have any interest in running gentoo. > After a power failiure both my XFS based systems are screwed up, > workstation was recovered, but my Freevo box has suffered severe damage > to the binutils/gcc packages. > It's running but compiling; no way. > So a note to all users, please use Ext3 or Reiserfs if you love your > system. My XFS system has had unexpected lockups (caused by intermittently flaky hardware) and power failures about a half a dozen times now, and I've experienced no data corruption. Perhaps it wasn't so much the power failure as the power fluctuations leading up to and following the power failure? I do have a UPS, so when power does die it dies all at once without any funny surges. I'm building an athlon64 system tonight and plan to build it on XFS, so I'm curious what this data corruption problem is. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
