I've had good experiences with XFS on my home file server. The only things to keep in mind are that once you cannot shrink the filesystem once it's created, and that fsck doesn't run when booted (you can write an init script to run xfs_repair if you like).
Also, my fragmentation often gets quite high - over 90% - but it doesn't seem to really affect performance.
- RexRollman 15y agoXFS filesystems can be defragmented. The tool is called xfs_fsr http://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_fsr http://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_fsr.
- waffle_ss 15y agoYes, I have a cron job that does that.
- RexRollman 15y agoAnd yet you are getting 90% defragmentation? I wonder why that is happening to you.
