I haven;t played around with XFS much (and certainly not with any of the latest versions) but found it too unwieldy and not stable enough for my tastes.
I installed XFS some time ago and thought it was great. Fast and stable with lots of features like ACL, separate disk journalling and other clever tricks. None of which I'd ever use. :) I stopped using it because SGI didn't keep up with stable kernels (I roll my own). This was especially important in the early 2.4.x phases when patches to 2.4.x were arriving every couple of weeks. Linus would release, say, 2.4.6, and I'd be stuck on 2.4.3 because the updates to XFS weren't available. I switched to ReiserFS. Just recently, however, I've noticed a problem with ReiserFS and OpenAFS. When the AFS cache is on a ReiserFS based partion, and the cache needs flushing, the AFS code oopses. Might be time to try JFS instead... -- 7:58am up 13 days, 23:39, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.05, 0.09
