I'd be curious who this is well-know to. The only XFS filesystem I've ever lost (having used XFS exclusively since SGI started offering it on RH 7.?) was due to bad RAM. There *have* been a couple of issues that I'm aware of, but I'd hardly call it "sucking". Regards, Cliff -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
