I am building a new myth be/fe today. Has anyone seen any
downsides to using XFS for the recording file system?<br>

I'm also replacing my current mythtv pc (be and fe for the last 2
years) with a new setup (separate be and fe).<br>
In the last 2 years I've used XFS on a LVM, spread over 2 x 1 TB
disks. Total size of the /video partition is 1.6 TB.<br>
Because I'm recording IPTV from HD channels I have movies which
create files in order of 15 - 20 GB.<br>
<br>
A week ago, I had some issues with one harddisk (suddenly MBR and
partition table were gone, nothing related to XFS).<br>
After rebuilding the MBR and partition table, everything appeared to
work.<br>
I did a fsck on the ext3 / partition, it found some issues, which
could be fixed.<br>
But for the /video partition the xfs check script ran for a minute
or so, to be crashed.<br>
<br>
It appears that (at least for the xfs in fedora 14 on a system with
2 GB memory), xfs_repair can run out of memory when you have very
large files.<br>
