I am not so sure about trusting real data to > Reiser, I have been (badly) burned by it in the past. I know Reiser and xfs are still very new. Anyone actively using xfs? I guess switch involves reformatting disks? Actually we have a large storage space yet to come 'on line'. It might be a good chance to try xfs. This reminds me, previously we have been using ext3 + raid + NFS, and for a while we were having some problems with this setup and we were wondering if the above combination was at fault. Can I ask what / how people set up file server space? Actually it is a big problem for us - we have no disk use / backup policy yet. Sorry if this a converstion you have already had - anyone provide a google interface to list archives? Thanks very much for any feedback you can give, and thanks again for previous help, Cheers, Dan. > Joe > > On Wed, 2004-01-28 at 09:34, Dan Bolser wrote: >> Thanks all for your help - not sure if I will try to persuade IT to make a shift >> to XFS or ReiserFS or just use the hashing function.... >> >> I am very excited by this... >> >> >> > However, if you want to migrate to MySQL - check out this FS-lookalike that >> lets you access MySQL data through a FS interface - >> > http://no.spam.ee/~tonu/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=2 .
