Is XFS file system secure? [message #2141] |

Hello,
I have a security related question: Is there any (security related) reason against the use of XFS as filesystem for /vz? Am I able to use all openvz functions when I use XFS as filesystem for /vz? I ask this because XFS is much faster than ext3 but it is not included into the standard (stable) openvz kernel.

Well...
We did a benchmark with ext3 and XFS. We did not use a benchmark tool but real users that surf through a website and call different SQL queries. Queries on MyISAM tables were slower when using ext3. The database is quite big (about 20GB at the moment) therefore the file system has to do a lot of work. We think that XFS is about 10% to 20% faster than ext3 for the same system load.
I think we need quota on that server. Therefore I think we can use XFS.
Thank you!
Bernhard
