My question would be this: Is XFS a general use file system or something I would use on a Xeon to IA-64/MIPS system only?
Personally, I was annoyed that I could not find a site anywhere that recommends which FS to use for what. With Windows the choice is mindless... NTFS... But I didn't have that luxery with my laptop install of Gentoo.

What is the justification for this putdown of XFS? I communicate with other groups, and almost universally people sing the praises of XFS (including use for critical servers). Is this just an old wives tale from the early days of XFS? Did someone put this in and it was never reviewed? Almost anyone I talk to maintains that XFS recovers from power failures just as well as any other journaling fs. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
