Hello out there,
i want to know about your XFS Filesystem experience. You may describe positive and negative experiences. I'm interesseted in both. Especially in the solutions for the negative experiences. It's also interessting, why you moved to XFS and from which filesystem. Thanks a lot in advance.
I have had nothing but good luck with XFS. It seems very efficient and on those rare occasions when I've had a crash or a power failure, recovery time at reboot is very fast. There was a snafu with the XFS code in the 9.1 kernel on the CDs and DVDs in the boxed package, but with the auxiliary file system module you could download, write to a floppy and install during CD boot, all was well. I assume that this problem has been fixed in 9.2, but anyone installing to XFS with the 9.1 ROMs will have to go through the extra steps alluded to above (details available in the hard-copy documentation in the box and on line at the SuSE Web site).
Mit freundlichem Gruß,
