Hi All.
I have a CentOS server:
CentOS 5.6 x86_64 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plus e4fsprogs-1.41.12-2.el5.x86_64
which has a 11TB ext4 filesystem. I have problems with running fsck on it and would like to change the filesystem because I do not like the possibility of running long fsck on it, it's a production machine. Also I have some problems with running fsck (not enough RAM, problem with scratch_files option) and if the filesystem will need intervention I will be in a problematic situation.
Which other mature and stable filesystem can you recommend for such large storage?
Never had to deal with such a large filesystem, yet, but I'd try XFS on it.
Alternatively you can look at less supported filesystems such as BTRFS. Or even http://zfsonlinux.org/.
