My condolences
There has been an (at least) four way finger pointing contest
raging for the last couple of months (on the Fedoraproject
front) between:
- xfs developers
- systemd developers
- dracut developers
- innocent victims of XFS
Here is a trailhead to read back and forth from:
http://tinyurl.com/y7d2a4he
I have a number of Red Hat Bugzilla reports I track, I have
corresponded twice privately with the Fedoraproject lead about
applying dynamite to at least get the innocent victims out of
XFS' harm's way, and ... bupkis. I have to say the problem
looks well and truly wedged, and XFS and data I care about
will never meet
In response, I went into our local deployment SOP's and added
a general prohibition on using XFS, absent explicit prior
approval from an admin or greater level authority. The ONLY
exception I can see being sought relates to extremely large
filesystems
