Re: Data Corruption Problem

[Jim Eshleman <jce0@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been running XFS for about two years now, and have had my share of 
problems, but haven't experienced any corruption.  XFS has progressed by 
"leaps and bounds" to the credit of the developers and users.  If you 
want to run a linux server, XFS is a good choice of fs IHMO.

For the record I'm running snapshot-xfs-2.4.21-2003-07-07_02:01_UTC on 
an IBM x370 8-way with 8GB (64G HIGHMEM enabled) and ~500GB disk, all HW 
RAID with Serveraid (ips) controllers.  The system is a very busy campus 
mail server with ~10K users.  LVM, NIS, NFS, POP, IMAP, sendmail, etc. 
Migrated to this system from an IBM F50 AIX system two years ago and 
have been happier since, although JFS on AIX is also a fine fs.
