Hi,
I have a few questions regarding the data integrity on XFS filesystems. I have
4 servers here all running on XFS partitions and I'm a bit concerned about
the data integrity of an XFS filesystem. After reading a lot of
benchmarks/user experiences I came to the conclusion that XFS is really very
fast, as I experience it here on my servers too, but when it comes to data
integrity it is wise not to use XFS for partitions containing important files
as XFS may not be able to recover them after a lets say power outage. I'm
also worried about the 'zeroing' thing in XFS.
I have 3 questions...
1) How reliable is XFS at data-integrity?
2) Will the 'zeroing' thing be removed/fixed in the near future?
3) Will XFS ever support ordered or journalled mode like ReiserFS or Ext3?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Grozdan
