Hey all,
I have been using xfs for quite a while now and I have been mostly
happy with it for its performance and utilities. There is one issue,
however, that I have run into a couple of times and that I consider
grave and makes me consider switching back to another journaling
filesystem.
I've had problems with severe file corruption; i.e. several times,
files had been opened at the time of a system hang were overwritten
with zeros and hence completely trashed. Affected files were files
opened in editors and configuration files such as XF86Config. This
has been happening randomly but also fairly regularly and doesn't
seem to be specific to certain hard- or software setups. The last
occurance happened with 2.4.14. I'm building xfs with gcc-2.91.66
as recommended.
Any suggestions are welcome. Please cc: any response to my email
address as I am not subscribed to the list.
Thanks,
