Re: experience with XFS

XFS has the habit of zeroing out some files each time there is a crash. This would be understandable for files that were being written around the time of the crash. But I've had files be erased that were created hours before the crash and were read-only after creation.

I've been running XFS for years on several machines and never seen this. I would suggest taking it up on the XFS list, because it isn't normal behaviour.
