Every now and then I hear these XFS horror stories. They seem too impossible to believe.
Nothing breaks for absolutely no reason and failure to know where the breakage was shows that maybe there wasn't adequately skilled techinicians for the technology deployed.
Waving your hands and insulting the people who went through XFS failures doesn't make me feel any better or make the problems not have occurred.
W You are correct it came across as rude and condescending, I apologize.
It was a knee jerk reaction that came from reading many such posts that XFS is no good because it caused X where X came about because people didn't know how to implement XFS safely or correctly.
Well, while a fan of anything IRIX, I've had issues with XFS in the past as with all filesystems.
I still use it but not in all cases.
A good fs, fast, reliable for the most part but by no means a fan boi of it.
You did come across as a serious fan though.
However if you like XFS, I'll assume you liek IRIX so check the 5dwm project which is the IRIX desktop for Linux.
