In a recent linux-raid list thread here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=137072140106867&w=2 seriously flawed arguments against the reliability of XFS, and even the performance of XFS, are made. The OP even quotes Dave's LCA presentation as a performance reason to avoid XFS. The party really gets started at paragraph 7. I made a brief effort to debunk his claims and explained that he can't have O_PONIES, that he should use fsync or O_DIRECT, etc for data safety. To non experts/advanced filesystem users, his long winded argument may be persuasive. Obviously none of you experts has time to debunk every such post, but this one may be worth a read at least, especially given the weight Google gives to vger lists. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
