file system

最近在處理公司 server

• ext3fs fsck 很久, 尤其是 180 天一次那種. 不做又不太建議
• mke2fs -j 很久, ex 1TB disk
• 聽說 xfs (from SGI) 不錯, mkfs.xfs 超快 (seconds) for 1TB disk

• XFS Tune Ref: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1479435
  
• ZFS 本來是夢幻 FS, 但是看了 http://www.tuxradar.com/content/opensolaris-vs-linux
• Also, another poster already pointed this out but when ZFS crashes it take no prisoners. Recovery is next to impossible. You have to use snapshots, regular (read hourly) backups and need LOTS of spare storage arrays to implement a functioning production data store with ZFS. Simpler systems like UFS and Ext3 don't need this investment.
• ZFS.... 唉
• OSX Server 的 file system 有希望嗎 ?
