FreeBSD adds XFS Read Only Support
 
As the subject reads.

FreeBSD has added XFS support (read only) to v6.0 and greater. :)

http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/xfs/

This happen all most a year ago.

So drives in JBOD may be readable outside of the snap.

Does someone have the time to confirm this? (requires 1x00, or JBOD)

Also found this on file system max capacity.

Benefits of XFS

So, what does this design give XFS? Well, scalability is obvious. UFS scales well to around 1 TB, NTFS to around 2 TB and XFS to around 18-19 million TB (these numbers are theoretical, I am just talking about the design here). Small difference there. It is also a very fast file system, allowing reads of up to 7 GB/sec. One thing some might find disturbing about the file system, is delayed allocation. It does this for good reasons, but the delay means that while a crash will not destroy FS, it might result in significant loss of data that has not yet been written to the disc.

I believe mandrake had it before.....

But yeah, someone could do with checking this...

I dont have a machine that works well with linux/unix/bsd based os's...

Strange as it its a BSD core (albeit heavily customised), that they have only just actually added the support....

Quantum/Meridan must have cutom added it

But never could get a download

Quote:
XFS is a high-performance journaling file system created by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX operating system.

XFS has been merged into the mainline Linux 2.4 (as of 2.4.25, when Marcelo Tosatti judged it stable enough) and 2.6 kernels, making it almost universally available on Linux systems. Installation programs for the SuSE, Gentoo, Mandriva, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions all offer XFS as a choice of filesystem. FreeBSD gained read-only support for XFS in December 2005 and in June 2006 experimental write support was introduced to FreeBSD-7.0-CURRENT.
