Marcy you also asked about xfs. We use xfs for our data storage volumes (user data file systems) and have been very happy with it. It is faster than ext3 and much faster with respect to fsck at boot time. Larger ext3 file systems would take a very long time to fsck at boot time and were causing us problems if they were due for a check.

Stable tried and try ext3 or new function (and more space) with btrfs. Any use of xfs? Marcy This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
