Re: [PLUG] Ext4

I think xfs makes life easier but regardless of that, if you care about that data you need to protect it. In other words, if that dataset experiences loss or corruption how do you recreate it? RAID has some of that functionality and some IT people have become conditioned to think that's all you need. Its only part of the solution.

I should probably reformat my storage drives to xfs.

Its not so much that as RAID being misused. Its not a replacement for data protection solutions. RAID is high availability but I'll take a probably properly protected LVM or JBOD over raid any day.

Also...

xfs is your friend :)
