XFS: the filesystem of the future?XFS: the filesystem of the future?Posted Jan 23, 2012 15:52 UTC (Mon) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054)In reply to: XFS: the filesystem of the future? by cruff Parent article: XFS: the filesystem of the future?
Yeah, I used XFS on Irix for a while before it came to Linux, which is why I used to trust it.
One issue, however, was that XFS was designed with server room assumptions. So when I used it in a Linux desktop context, with a less-reliable power supply, bad things happened. One of those bad things was losing an entire filesystem once; another was the zeroed files that people have mentioned.
Of course this was probably around 2005, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's improved since then, but I'm also not going to assume that it has.
