It looks like early phase exploration on the one hand, but on the other hand Red Hat Beta 7 is already using XFS as the default filesystem:
Why were you surprised? If I had to do a new installation for anything important, I would use XFS for everything but a small (512MB to 1GB) /boot, which would be ext[234], because grub cannot be installed in an XFS partition. The "delete many small files" XFS weaknesses were mostly solved years ago and overall performance of XFS is better than ext* nowadays (not measured, it's just that every time I wonder why my machines stall for so long, I find that they are working on an ext filesystem right now ;-) But for many small files you definitely want an SSD with every current file system :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
