[opensuse] XFS on portable usb drive
Hi, any comments against using XFS on a 2.5" USB disk drive?. I'll be using it for additional storage on my laptop, I've read that a journal cleanup/recreation is needed if I'm switching between 32bit/64bit installations, any other known issue?.

I use them. And I'm not aware of the journal trouble you mention. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I've seen it reported in some forum posts, many of them referencing the Ubuntu Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XFS) "The journal is currently not 32-bit / 64-bit portable. Before mounting a xfs prevously used on 32-bit linux in 64-bit linux (or different arch) the journal has to be emptied using xfs_repair."

Weird. This machine is 64 bit, I have a few xfs partitions, and a few installed opensuse systems, one of them 32 bit, the rest 64 bit. I didn't have any problem. I also have some external HDs formatted XFS with a 32 bit machine, and I use them with this 64 bit machine. Maybe it is an issue if the partition was not cleanly umounted. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
