Hi Ben, I'm setting up a new server right now, and I'm breaking it up into a number of different LV's for flexibility. I've gone through a number of possibilities, and I think it's going to look something like this: / - Ext4 /root - Ext4 /home - Ext4 /var - Ext4 /usr/local - Ext4 /usr/local/worktmp - XFS (Very intensive & time-consuming random writes, here. But all files are temporary work files. XFS is performing well here in my testing.) /usr/local/data - Ext3 (Cobol doesn't know about fsync. I need pony-magic in this LV.) Backup on the /usr/local/worktmp is not critical, due to its nature. But can't I just lvm2-snapshot an XFS LV and rsync that to USB drive like I do everything else? -Steve _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
