Michael Monnerie put forth on 8/19/2010 7:45 AM: > Just this week I had a friend in a FS > discussion saying "ins't XFS destroying/zeroing files on power > failure?". That information is ancient, but things like that stay in > peoples brain for(almost)ever. Had a similar lengthy discussion over on debian-users not more than a month or so ago. Same thing there. Of the 10 or so people active in the thread, I'd say 8 of them were anti-XFS because of the "corruption due to power failure" issue that they'd "read about" years before. Not a single one of them had ever used XFS. A couple of them considered it a "hobbyist quality" filesystem that might be ready for production use in a few years. Ahh the ignorance abounds in our world... I did my best to educate them, sending them to the Wikipedia page on XFS and to the xfs.org site and specifically the relevant sections of the FAQ. Unfortunately there are some people who simply refuse to be educated. But those type of people aren't candidates for XFS anyway, thankfully. ;) -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
