Hi, reading the list archives, I get the impression that XFS is the second best alternative to btrfs. But when I start an ceph-osd on an XFS volume, there is still a big warning: WARNING: not btrfs or ext3. We don't currently support file systems other than btrfs and ext3 (data=journal or data=ordered). Data may be lost in the event of a crash. I know that I can't use btrfs snapshots, but is it really that bad? I'm running a recent RHEL6.2 kernel now, that has all those wonderful optimizations, Dave Chinner was talking about. Thanks, Christian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
