Re: Rescue CD wanted: 2.6.10, SATA and XFS

Sadly, when measuring a filesystem's reputation, if (controlling as best you can for hardware faults) 9 out of 10 people say it works great, never had a problem, while one says it blew up on them, that's a _terrible_ filesystem.
I need to check, but I think, statistically, XFS is faring _worse_ than 9 out of 10, on this list at least.

I agree, I'm using XFS on i386, Alpha and Sparc64 without any issues.


What problems in particular are you experiencing with XFS and NFS/Samba?


I don't use Samba much any more since I don't have any Windows boxes but in
the past I never had an issue with it, but I can't speak about NFS.

Just a "me too" message. I've been using XFS since SGI put out their 1.0
Linux port and while there have been issues, I consider it much better than
reiserfs.

Knoppix meets the requirements. Beware XFS with NFS and/or Samba. I have

I agree. As I posted before, I am not happy with XFS either, but I
have not made the effort yet to change it. I will probably change the
system partition to reiserfs as soon as the system is up again :-)


OT, but IMO reiserfs is a huge stepbackwards from XFS...



And Knoppix does support SATA now? Unfortunately, my mainbord has no
ATA emulation, so I do need the SATA drivers from kernel 2.6.10 or
later. Can you recommend a "small" variant of Knoppix? I do have ADSL,
but 700 MB still take some time...


Knoppix 3.9 comes with 2.6.11, so if your driver is in 2.6.10 you should be
fine. If you use BitTorrent the download should fly, according to the
tracker there's 400 seeds on the EN version.
