That thread appears to be related to Debian (Lenny) and XFS only. Were you using XFS or ext3?


Was using XFS on Ubuntu...


I'm just curious...what sort of workload are you dealing with that makes XFS a rational choice? It's dramatically less well-tested than ext3, or even ReiserFS, on Linux, and its performance characteristics are not particularly compelling except for a few pretty specific cases.

I have a history of tinkering with odd filesystems, but I wouldn't deploy anything other than ext3 to a production Linux server at this point in time.
