minus-squareSynestine@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoOh, my bad. The two benefits to XFS that I’ve ever seen are that it has no inode limit like ext4 (which prevents the FS shrink). The other is that it seems to handle simultaneous I/O better than ext4 does; think very active database volumes and datastores.
