Hi,
Q: Does XFS run with the linux software RAID md driver?
Nobody has tested it so far but expect it not to work like for all the other
journaling filesystems due to internal buffer locking problems I think. If
anyone tries this - please let me know. Also keep in mind - if you want to
try it - also the md driver will definitely not work with the kiobuf option
enabled.
This is wrong. ReiserFS is doing this perfectly on my system for some months
now.
But you must use the raid implementation 0.9 (raidtools-0.9) to do. So the
question comes up again: Does XFS run with the linux software RAID?
What about nfs?
There are some problems with new filesystems and nfs in linux
(see discussion on http://lwn.net/2001/0222/kernel.php3
for details). So: is XFS supporting NFS (or better vice versa).
Best regards,
Thomas
