One thing people seem to forget is the fact that XFS has a *lot* of user space tools that ext3, reiser, jfs and others don't, such as:David A. Bandel wrote:Move to XFS and say goodbye to fsck forever. Ciao, David A. Bandel
What about ext3 or reiserfs? I never see fsck. One day during a wind storm I had my computer go down 5 seperate times, each a short power outage, and it rebooted fine, no problems using reiserfs (Libranet Linux).
Ext3 is a simple convert from ext2, yes? Just add the journal?
xfs_growfs which will resize a partition on the fly
xfs_admin for labeling and renaming
xfs_check for error filesystem and inode correction
xfs_freeze to freeze a filesystem for snapshots
xfs_fsr to reallocate or defragment a filesystem
xfs_bmap to print block mapping for an XFS filesystem
xfs_db to debug an XFS filesystem
xfs_logprint to print the log of an XFS filesystem
xfsdump to back up a filesystem
xfsrestore to restore a filesystem
None of the other journalling filesystems are close to being as "full-featured" and rely on external programs to perform these functions. I prefer tools native to the filesystem rather than the os or third party.
