 | | | Migrate XFS to Ext3 w/ ACL 's? | Migrate XFS to Ext3 w/ ACL 's? 2003-12-20 - By D Canfield
Back
Historically, I 've used SGI 's XFS kernels on our main fileservers, but
now that RHEL3 has ACL support in ext3 I don 't think it 's worth the
hassle of keeping my filesystems on XFS (let alone that SGI hasn 't made
RHEL XFS kernels). When I make the transition, I 'll be doing it with
all new hardware, so in order to minimize downtime I 'd like to do
something along the lines of an rsync of the two servers. My problem is
that I 'd like to be able to maintain the ACL 's if at all possible. Does
anyone know of a good way to do this? The XFS box is an RHL9-based. Is
there some trick with NFS or tar or something that might let me pull
this off, and preferrably do it with the original filesystem staying live?
Also, does anyone know if there is any significant performance penalty
in using quotas on ext3, especially compared to XFS?
Thanks for any pointers.
