productionserver

[Thomas Kirk <thomas@arkena.com>]

Hey there listmembers

Im looking into building a streaming media storage server in a
production enviroment. The server has to be available 24/7 preferable
;-). We are using debian as our prefered OS and as such im gonna us
this to build the storage server. The diskarray are gonna be shared
via CIFS and optional NFS and now the question is what fs would i
choose for this system. Ive been lurkeing around on the listarchives
for a while and reading almost all the mails regarding XFS. The
question is : Is XFS in its current state ready for production
enviroments and yes i read the FAQ but it would be nice with some real
world experince from other "sysadmins". I would be very gratefull for
any help this list could come up with. 

Thanks in advance
