XFS is not for the massesXFS is not for the massesPosted Apr 26, 2006 21:54 UTC (Wed) by hmh (subscriber, #3838)In reply to: XFS is not for the masses by nix Parent article: Filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian Etch (Debian Administration)
You can fsck / with ext2/ext3 just fine. It is XFS' utter useless fsck semanthics (do nothing) which are trouble. You need xfs_repair in the early/repair userland to deal with that.
I'd be much better if XFS' (and anyone else also doing this) would just stop with the impress-the-management-with-lies politics and implement fsck as it is meant to be implemented, instead of as a NOP.

XFS is not for the masses Posted Apr 27, 2006 6:23 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Why not wrap up xfs_repair with a fsck wrapper? (I thought someone had done that, actually.)
XFS is not for the masses Posted Apr 27, 2006 12:02 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] There is something unpleasant about fscking *any* live filesystem to me: the 'recommend reboot' return code from e2fsck is a symptom of this unpleasant special case. Well, now we can zap it :)
