OK good to know. This reinforces my thinking. Is it sane for ARMv7 to have its own fs default? Or should all of the archs for a product compromise? Each deliverable must have its default partitioning tested. If there are 3x deliverables, that's 3x default partition testing. I don't see that it matters if each deliverable had a different default fs/layout, because that's still just one default for that one deliverable. It's not multiplicative. Whereas before with four Partition Scheme options, 3x deliverables means 12x paths. It's a lot more testing to have options. One default fs/layout is a passthrough for each of the deliverables regardless of what it is, testing wise, but maybe this is untenable for anaconda or for composes? > we make images via > appliance-creator which today doesn't support XFS at all, though that's > easily fixed. OK. Does the anaconda default bind you into making this change in appliance-creator? Or is it a preference? And if it's a preference is it really making things easier to be all on the same thing, even though all offerings would have to be tested in any case? > > We have a 22T XFS filesystem in Fedora infrastructure today. because it > was the only way to get one that big. That 22TB file system isn't running on a 32-bit kernel though. I'm fine with XFS on x86_64, as it's very well tested there. And i686 doesn't bother me much as it sounds like it gets good upstream testing. I'm a little more concerned about it on 32-bit ARM though just because of the unknowns.
