Hello XFS ML,
I use XFS on an IBM Thinkpad with a 60GB harddisk. My question is:
Are there any recommended settings for using XFS on a laptop?
Last time I started an OpenGL app in fullscreen mode I experienced a system
freeze (couldn't even switch to a console to kill that process) and so I had
to do a system restart without unmounting my partitions in a friendly
manner. ;)
After everything was up and running again I noticed that KDE had a different
look&feel - for example, colors and font sizes changed to their default
values (which makes me believe that some of the config files got corrupted
and KDE using the default ones). This assumption is stressed by the fact
that, on a previous installation and system freeze I indeed had corrupted kde
config files (using XFS).
Are there any recommeded settings (especially mount and sysctl options) for
XFS (on a laptop)? Note that this system freeze isn't really laptop specific
(why should it be? ;)) but if there are XFS-on-a-laptop users on this list
I'd really appreciate some hints, tipps and tricks for running XFS as stable
as possible. What about journalling / ordered data modes - commit intervalls,
noatime, etc.. ?
My kernel: 2.6.4 (vanilla)
Keep up the good work on XFS!
Tobias
ps: ..and sorry for my bad English. ;)
