this is something which has to be investigated further first by
me but i'd like to ask around here too ... are there any issues
known regarding gdbm db's on XFS filesystems? (i assume no :-)
the reason i ask is that i had some trouble with my little offline
newsserver i use here for reading the mailinglists - noffle - it
puts all the articles it stores into an gdbm database which is on
this machine here on an XFS filesystem ... it worked fine here for
some time but then noffle started crashing on more and more groups
and debugging it did not really bring up any useful results ... i
then contacted the author of noffle and he said that there are
some issues with noffle running on reiserfs - so i was thinking
about possible problems on XFS ... ok - to find out what is the
reason for the most probably corrupted gdbm database i now run the
noffle spools on an ext2 filesystem - i hope to know more within
the next days ...
so - no proven problem with XFS for now - i'll mail again if it
works on ext2 (because then it would be an XFS problem ...)
