Howdy, I did a install of Mandriva recently and found out this bit of info. If you have frequent power failures and no UPS, do NOT use XFS. It was a nightmare to get back up because of things not getting started again and I just reinstalled Mandriva with reiserfs. It worked very well with Reiserfs but XFS was not something I want to try on that machine again for sure.
If I had a UPS, it would have been fine. Maybe someone can explain this one to me a bit better. Dale :-) :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
