Who cares what any one thinks in terms of > Free vs Fee paradigms, XFS is simply a rockin FS. You bet; we've put dozens of TB on and off it in 9 years of running MythTV. And in the 2 instances where it's blown its brains out, Dave, in particular, has been very helpful in putting it back together; it's a little unnerving, actually, to look the handle up after an IRC chat and discover you had the lead dev on the phone. > I was really intrigued by his and Linus's back and forth not to long > ago, some great knowledge for sure.

As it happens, though, My Sister's DVR is *not* the only machine with Really Big Filesystems on it*, and it really does matter to me what the development policies are on critical subsystems like this; hence my query above. I really really *love* SuSE, after 8 years, but they've made a critical change I simply can't tolerate for commercial use, and I'm going to have to pick a new distro. (And anyone who says "well, just switch to SLES" either forgets that that's $1200/server/year, or forgets where Linux came from in the first place...) CentOS is the only thing that's anywhere close. * ... for which I'm responsible ... Cheers -- jra -- Jay R.
