A'ight, you forced me to pull out the big gun. Choke on it. The master penguin himself, kernel.org, has run on XFS since 2008. Sorry for the body slam. Is your back ok Mark? ;) Pretty sure I just "won" this discussion. Err, actually, XFS wins. ;) BTW, the main Debian mirror in the U.S. is actually housed in kernel.org last I checked. Thus, the files on your system were very likely originally served from XFS. The Linux Kernel Archives "A bit more than a year ago (as of October 2008) kernel.org, in an ever increasing need to squeeze more performance out of it's machines, made the leap of migrating the primary mirror machines (mirrors.kernel.org) to XFS. We site a number of reasons including fscking 5.5T of disk is long and painful, we were hitting various cache issues, and we were seeking better performance out of our file system." "After initial tests looked positive we made the jump, and have been quite happy with the results. With an instant increase in performance and throughput, as well as the worst xfs_check we've ever seen taking 10 minutes, we were quite happy. Subsequently we've moved all primary mirroring file-systems to XFS, including www.kernel.org , and mirrors.kernel.org. With an average constant movement of about 400mbps around the world, and with peaks into the 3.1gbps range serving thousands of users simultaneously it's been a file system that has taken the brunt we can throw at it and held up spectacularly." http://www.xfs.org/index.php/XFS_Companies#The_Linux_Kernel_Archives -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
