Thanks. I'm downloading the Athlon SMP now.Yeah, I agree. I've had a couple of lengthy *discussions* with one of their people who basically said "They don't care who else is releasing it, they won't until it passes **their** testing". I can understand this, but nonetheless, it's an inevitability, what with the continuing surge in XFS popularity. More and more people are discovering how pleasant it is to have your metadata recovered in just a second or two versus having to fsck and still have corrupted data. We set up two boxen with identical hardware and OS installation, the only difference being an ext3 vs. XFS filesystem. On the third hard shutdown (pulled the power plug) the ext3 / filesystem had NO files in it, just a huge lost+found directory. XFS has never failed to recover. Given that we have 90+ machines scattered across the state, all AIX boxen at the moment, and plans to replace them all with Linux machines, XFS will be a huge benefit for us. (and I've always loved SGI machines and IRIX so I'm biased, I admit)
I understand - and very much appreciate - the amount of work it takes to do this so I salute Russell. It's a shame RH doesn't add XFS as it's file system.
