Having worked for a large film and television post-production facility
in London for just over six years, XFS has been the primary filesystem
for all our servers. Much of the data was split across multiple disk
servers - each with around 2-3Tb of data. The whole filesystem was
presented to the workstations over NFS with scripts to manage links to
the different file servers - presenting a unified filesystem to the
artist. XFS had given us the performance and reliability required and
has gotten us out of some nasty scrapes.
It's a shame that RHEL/CentOS does not include XFS as a choice of
filesystem out of the box without having to compile the XFS module or
use CentOS Extras repository, but perhaps one day it may happen.. ;)
