[TriLUG] Best CentOS Filesystem for Improper Shutdown

[Brian Henning via TriLUG]

Tarus,

Does the system need its filesystem to be writable?  You didn't mention the application of your appliance; if it doesn't need to persist anything, just configure it to mount its filesystem read-only.  Then you have nothing to worry about!

Or, you could do that, and also set up a share on another machine on your network, that your appliance could mount for its write needs.

$0.03,

Gang:

I was curious if you folks had any advice on the best filesystem to use on a minimal install of CentOS being used as an appliance?

This unit will be headless and so in the case that it loses power and has to reboot, I'd like it to recover from any filesystem corruption if possible. My searches have shown that ext4 is supposed to be pretty good, but I also see that CentOS supports xfs as well.

Thanks in advance,
-T
