This is a multi-pronged email..., sorta...
Haven't seen any email from this list since 12/15/05. Is this list
still alive?
Is the xfs project still alive?
Also was wondering if there were any comments on the recent benchmarks
mentioned on "slashdot" where xfs showed up last by minor amounts
in almost all areas. The differences were minor, but notable for
bean counters -- was it a bad test or bad configuration for xfs
or are development resources being spent on the other filesystems
at too great an amount for xfs to keep pace?
Are there still reasons why one should stay with xfs other than
warm fuzzies? Copying (using tar or cpio) a kernel tree seemed to
be pretty file system stressful. XFS did seem to be lower on cpu
usage in some of the tests compared to some of the higher performing
filesystems, but the overall performance was frustrating (still being
a firm xfs "fan"). Perhaps the others aren't up to speed in the extended
attribute support yet?
Anyway -- suppose I should see if this bounces or gets answered.
