RE: ZFS / btrfs article...... & video clip

I am still a big fan of XFS. It is still undergoing a very active development, especially in recent linux kernels.

Our backup server has hundreds of millions of files (mostly hardlinks), collected over almost 10 years of operation. That filesystem has grown with the hardware, throughout the years has resided on many linux raids of different configurations.

Accidentally this morning one of the drives in that server array died, input/output error even for simple "cat /dev/sdd". A new one is already synchronizing (those missing slots are for two rotating sets of offline backup drives, synchronized once a week in external eSATA bays):
