Re: [PLUG] Ext4

I want stability on my system and for keeping data safe I am going to be running a NAS at a family members house that my system will do nightly incremental backups to. There shouldn't be a need for anything past that. (for me at least)

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 :)

And people always questioned why I don't use raid on my home systems lol.

Phoronix.com has an article about the 4.0 kernel having an ext4 corruption issue. Currently confined to raid users.
