I tested reiserfs vs xfs on a new and fast iron, filesize from 4k to
1MB. xfs was 2-3 times faster than reiserfs(v3,stable). Even a 40GB file
was faster on xfs.
I'm running 4 servers - glusterfs on xfs - in production.
But that said, I have experienced instant server kill on some occations
whitch may be from accessing corrupted files (from a xfs disk) and
trying to write them in glusterfs. Reading yours (Kevan) thoughts here
will make me take a new look at this possible file system problem.
