Not to mention LOTS and LOTS of memory! xfs_repair can eat memory, but it's got nothing on ZFS.
yes it needs a lot of memory with the idea that memory is affordable these days. but you can tweak zfs to use the drives as cache, which might be reasonable on backup servers. disadvantage of xfs: you can't tweak data integrity corruption, which is quite important on backup systems if you'd ask me :) gr arno-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
