Well I've spent 'some' time on SGI - and it's been a couple of years now - but XFS is darned good. The ONLY problem I ever had was a bad spot on an HD when someone bumped a 6 foot tall rack to make it rock a bit. It gave me an error on one file, so I just moved that directory to another name, moved all the files from there to a newnly named one, and excluded that from backup. Really rugged file system. Later on I was able to use the 'fx' tool to map out those tracks on the HD. The track was hurt bad enough that the automatic remap utility didn't work. I'd really like to see XFS on FreeBSD. The slowdowns when a directroy accidentally get's overlarge will be a thing of the past. -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
