Hey folks,
I've been using xfs since 1.0 was released and many of my machines have
2.4.5 on them and I get weirdnesses. So as new patches come out, I've been
upgrading to a new kernel version. The latest one I'm using is a 2.4.16
w/XFS+EXT3. I've started migrating away from xfs because of problems like,
under heavy load, my entire file system got corrupt, missing files on
non-busy machines, etc. Given the advantages XFS has over EXT3,
performance, and file size, I would like to know first of all, what kernel
version w/which patch w/which compiler makes a stable 2.4.x xfs kernel that
won't trash my filesystem. Second, I would like to know, in what way I can
beat up my machine to test for these sort of failures that plagued previous
versions of xfs?
Thanks,
Gabe E. Nydick
