Subject: attack upon XFS, misinformation abounds, linux-raid list
Date: Sun, 09 Jun 2013 05:46:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51B45CFD.20500@hardwarefreak.com> (raw)
In a recent linux-raid list thread here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=137072140106867&w=2
seriously flawed arguments against the reliability of XFS, and even the
performance of XFS, are made. The OP even quotes Dave's LCA
presentation as a performance reason to avoid XFS. The party really
gets started at paragraph 7.
I made a brief effort to debunk his claims and explained that he can't
have O_PONIES, that he should use fsync or O_DIRECT, etc for data
safety. To non experts/advanced filesystem users, his long winded
argument may be persuasive. Obviously none of you experts has time to
debunk every such post, but this one may be worth a read at least,
especially given the weight Google gives to vger lists.
