[Nfsen-discuss] Linux filesystem type choice?

Hi all,

I was using xfs for the PROFILEDATA partition for nfsen for a while.

Well - that was until last night, when a kernel upgrade appeared to wipe
away the filesystem. I recovered the LVM (PV/VG/LV) but xfs refused to
see anything (even booting back to the old kernel).

Occasionally I've had similar issues on other Linux systems, but fixing
the LVM always brought things back (not tried it with an xfs filesystem
before).

This has seriously dented my trust in xfs, however a few of the nice
things about xfs were speed of file-delete/mount/unmount/create. Trying
to mount a newly-formatted 1.2TB filesystem under xfs takes 4s, whereas
it takes 45s under reiserfs (and longer under ext3 from what I remember).

What do other people with large filesystems use? If xfs (especially if
using LVM) have you seen anything like this?

Cheers


Ivan
