Little addition to XFS, I tried it once a while ago. Every time the

experience and from what I have read from others, if you plan to use
XFS, have a good UPS hooked up. It does not like power failures at
all. YMMV
:) In the YMMV category, I've used XFS on pretty much every file
server I've had in the last 4-5 years and it's never given me any
trouble despite pretty much never having a UPS hooked up and a decent
number of power outages. Granted, I never used it on my root
filesystem, only storage partitions.

Good idea not to use it on the / file system. LOL I was using Mandriva
for my ex's Mom. After about three or four tries, I went back to
reiserfs. It would crash but it would boot right back up again.
Nothing lost that I know of.
I just never trusted it again. I have also been told, and read
elsewhere, that it is a pretty well known thing that it doesn't like
power failures. It has its good points tho, which is why I was trying
it out.
