The online fsck support looks really cool. We use XFS at work because Ext4 has issues dealing with too many files. Anyone else use XFS for other reasons ?

- vetinari 9y agoIt is a default for RHEL7/CentOS7, so I imagine many people use it.
- ianhowson 9y agoXFS Project Quotas -- quotas enforced on write without requiring traditional users to be set up. Handy for untrusted Docker containers which need to run as one UID but still want per-container quotas.
- c0l0 9y agoThese days, ext4 has project quota support, too.
- wyldfire 9y agoHands down best in sequential write performance.
- opk 9y agoWe ran into problems with ext4 on an NFS server with 64-bit inodes and 32-bit clients. XFS had a mount option that solved it. We're likely to stick with it now as we prefer the quotas.
- fgbreel 9y agoI use both filesystems, but for databases I found XFS concurrent writes handy.
