I haven't used XFS in several years. I was hoping that it had |
| 72 |
improved. I just wanted to make sure that it had improved and that it |
| 73 |
would be safe considering the OP has hard shutdowns. I wouldn't want |
| 74 |
the OP to use it if he would lose data the first time he had a hard |
| 75 |
shutdown. That would pretty much suck. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
I agree on reiserfs tho. I use it a lot here as well. It works very |
| 78 |
well for me. |
