Gentoo as shipped by the project is not server hardened c/d ? Also do they provide a mortal alternative to stage 3 install and build from source or do you literally have to do that Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Apr 22, 2017 |

gently caress SystemD We've been saying for years that it is an intentional obfuscation of security holes. Wikileaks confirmed this recently.

I've had to use freebsd on the command line when helping out a friend and it's very similar to a frustrating dialect.... I had to look up how to do a lot of system administration tasks and the concepts are the same, but the implementation is slightly off. And then there's zfs.

personally, I haven't had to do learn anything terribly new or change my sysadmin worldview since adopting xfs for most things this is in stark contrast to systemd I am not going to argue for or against systemd, but it's clearly different than sysV or upstart or etc

xfs supports larger files and filesystems. something like 8 exbibytes max file size and 16 exbibytes for the filesystem vs 16tb / 1 exbitbyte for ext4. xfs allegedly scales better performance-wise than ext4 too. i remember hearing a long time ago that xfs had problems with leaving huge zero-filled files after power-loss, but i guess that was fixed?

XFS was also designed by people who knew what they were doing when it came to filesystems and operating systems at Silicon Graphics, just as ZFS was designed by such people at Sun ext?fs is designed by Linux people for Linux

I do have a Linux box, and I may switch it over to Fedora when I next upgrade it I expect that'll be a good time to switch filesystems and stuff too

I hear that it's a problem as well, but I bet it's "working as intended" rather than "broken" in order to preserve data integrity or something of that nature the internet says that crash-prone systems should probably stick to ext4 than switch to xfs there are other benchmarks that put ext4 above xfs for some scenarios but, as you say, xfs is definitely more futureproof

Sapozhnik posted:serious question why use xfs instead of ext4 i think the big thing on that is that xfs effortlessly scales to a bunch of parallel io (because it rather crudely just slice the disk up in pieces which get threads associated with them, very direct parallel operations follow at the cost of some up front fragmentation that more clever systems avoid). the rest is just the same advantages as ext4 really, old and well understood so seems pretty clear-cut for rhel which is conservative but happy to run on fairly big machines

cinci zoo sniper posted:*walks in, wearing official btrfs jorts* so, The worst mistake I've ever made was putting btrfs on an embedded device. Got frustrated about "no free space" errors that were not fixed by deleting massive amounts of data. Out of desperation, I added another block device and expanded the filesystem to it, which is actually a pretty neat feature. Later, I read the FAQ and it turns out that you need to add a special flag when making the filesystem if the device is smaller than 16GB. In an unrelated story, I was surprised when I couldn't guess the filesystem of a drive that was in cold storage for half a decade. It wasn't encrypted... wasn't lvm2... wasn't ext2 or ext3... it turns out that it was I think it was actually a pretty good filesystem when I used it... too bad that it was named after the author who was a crazed murdering sperglord

i suspect it is old age and some engineering experience which has taken all will to experiment on anything but the safest options on this kind of stuff out of me certainly filesystems don't get that exciting even when they are new (and supposedly exciting)
