But if we learned to much, we may be dangerous or something. Sometimes to much knowledge can be bad. lol I !think! I tried XFS once. If it was XFS, you need to have a UPS for sure. Every time the system crashed I had to re-install. I never got it to recover even once. I have heard the same thing about its defrag efficiency tho. Just don't trust it to much with my data.
