Hello everyone, I'm JWP and I'm
|
||
|
|
continuing here in my series on file systems. Today I'm going to talk about an old
|
||
|
|
file system that recently has come back and become very popular. It's called
|
||
|
|
XFS file system. XFS is especially interesting because of its IO
|
||
|
|
performance and its volume size. Today it's the default for enterprise systems
|
||
|
|
using big search things. Hadoop and SAP HANA use XFS as their
|
||
|
|
file systems. So XFS combines advanced journaling technology with full 64-bit
|
||
|
|
addressing and scalable structures and algorithms. This combination delivers
|
||
|
|
the most scalable high-performance file system ever conceived. XFS
|
||
|
|
journaling system has yet another file system originally created for the
|
||
|
|
commercial Linux system that made its way into the Linux world. Silicon
|
||
|
|
Graphics Incorporated originally started XFS in 1994 for its commercial
|
||
|
|
RxUnix system. It was released to the Linux environment for common use in
|
||
|
|
2002. XFX file system uses right-back mode of journaling, which provides high
|
||
|
|
performance but does introduce an amount of risk because the actual data isn't
|
||
|
|
stored in the journal file. The XFS file system also allows online resizing of
|
||
|
|
the file system similar to a RISER FS file system except XFS file systems can
|
||
|
|
only be expanded, not shrunk. The XFS, I mean it's really really fast. I mean if
|
||
|
|
you go to SGI they have a lot of stuff on there. There's a whole SGI wiki and
|
||
|
|
I was unaware that SGI had really ever done anything. So maybe we ought to sit
|
||
|
|
back and say thank you for to SGI. I mean my last one we said IBM with
|
||
|
|
JFS and so all of these commercial systems are now moving into the open source
|
||
|
|
and a lot of times the open source things are even better than the commercial one.
|
||
|
|
All right I hope you enjoyed this about XFS. XFS is really coming back I think
|
||
|
|
into the mainstream. I think most of the commercial Linux distributions are
|
||
|
|
going to be moving to XFS in the near future. I'm not sure if canonical is
|
||
|
|
because they're doing their base in their enterprise business mostly on
|
||
|
|
open stack these days. So we'll have to see what canonical is going to do but
|
||
|
|
I know for sure that Sousa and Red Hat and their next incarnation are probably
|
||
|
|
going to go to fault with XFX. All right hey take care you all have a great day.
|
||
|
