File system preferences depend a lot on use cases. We're using XFS for /home on 50 machines or so because of some testing I did a while ago (cough 12 years cough) where it turned out its performance was clearly superior. The scenario I've tested was multiple large files (hundreds of GB) being appended to from several NFS clients.
We did a similar choice (even more than 12y ago). And while I still like (and use) XFS for data partitions with large files I have to admit that this (XFS via NFS mount) was the only one to give me a total and unrecoverable data loss...
I had total losses with reiserfs, xfs, and ext3. And in the distant past, fat. I also experienced a reproducible total loss event with btrfs. With ntfs... nearly so, but a proprietary (paid) tool managed to recover all the important files.
The only total losses I've had have been with LVM (many years ago, back in the days of Fedora Core 4) and btrfs. For the last 7 years or so all my critical data storage has been on RAID10/ext4 (with nightly backups to an external drive) using ext4. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
