Feature changed by: Robert Davies (robopensuse) Feature #307617, revision 4 Title: Make XFS the Default Filesystem openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Charles Wright (asnrcw) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Or at least allow the user to choose which filesystem to use during the install process. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: XFS is stable, has good performance and doesn't keep your hard drive awake with journaling. Discussion: #1: Stephen Kellat (skellat) (2009-09-05 18:10:27) How is this not already provided for in the installer's partition editor? If memory serves I can use XFS when I am partitioning during a DVD-based install. + #2: Robert Davies (robopensuse) (2009-11-17 18:12:07) + XFS does not have the data reliability enhancements mde to ext3/ext4 + and ext4 is faster over all benchmark tests I come across. ext4 has + more active developers, with XFS a small pool. + In 11.2 I actually did format some XFS filessystems, for storing large + file data, which I wanted to share with older version Linux, so this + feature is alraedy implemented. + Do custom partition (for experts), size the disks, then you have + filesystem format & fstab option form. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307617
