I really wish people (and redhat) just stop using XFS altogether. I have seen it break multiple times with two different scenarios:
1) Backup system with external media (usb3) on XFS. The USB link goes down, the kernel panics inside some XFS code. Hard reset needed.
2) Production system with <1M files being actively read by apache http. Hot updating this folder via rsync randomly panics the system.
After a couple of times you just migrate to something sane, like ext4, and everything works flawlessly.
- ink_13 6y ago> migrate to something sane, like ext4 I have seen this argument used the other way. XFS never runs out of inodes, for example.
- zelly 6y agoThey should use ZFS or really fix btrfs. These barebones filesystems have really run their course.
- snvzz 6y agoDon't forget about NILFS2. Designed for low-latency. log-like structure. Data and metadata checksums. Been in the kernel for several years.
- nix23 6y agoYou have much bigger problems and none of it has something todo with XFS.
- otterley 6y agoIf you can reproduce this, have you reached out to the maintainers? They’d love to fix bugs like these.
