Re: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] XFS vs Ext4

[Jose Marques]

We use EXT4 mostly. We find it to be more robust for lab machines, and more 
efficient for VMs. XFS is limited to cases where its more advanced features are 
useful. We treat our user facing systems as being "disposable", if they develop 
a software/filesystem issue we usually wipe and reinstall rather than try to 
fix same. Important storage is mounted from separate storage servers.
