<br> I use XFS for the recording volume and Ext3 for everything else.<br> Do you know if XFS is still a possible cause of instability if only used<br>for recordings?<br></blockquote></div><br>Speaking for my system, absolutely. Using XFS, I was seeing kernel oopses that increased in frequency with the amount of random hard disk access (multiple recordings running simultaneously, recording while downloading with bittorrent, etc). Moving to ext3 solved all my stability problems, and my backend has since been running for 68 days straight with no problems. Note, no other changes to system configuration were made, aside from the filesystem of my recordings partition (the main OS partition had always been running on ext3).
<br><br>For reference, this is on a Fedora system running kernel 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5.<br><br>Brett.<br>
