There was a similar thread about which is the best FS for Centos.
I'm using ext3, and wondered if XFS would be more 'data safe' than ext3.
I had a 100GiB ext3 partition, and it took up 1.75GiB for FS administration purposes. I reformatted it to XFS, and it only used 50.8MB!
I now have a fresh new drive to install my root Centos system onto, and wondered about creating the partitions as XFS?
What about the XFS admin tools - do these get installed when you format a partition as XFS from anaconda, or are they a seperate rpm package, installed later?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
