As some of you may know, CentOS 7 is about to be released in a few months. Few months in our busy life – is tomorrow – or almost like it.
RHEL will bring a number of new features and one of them is the file system. RHEL will ship with default file system XFS (could have been ZFS but licensing doesn’t permit). CentOS is a fork of RHEL and therefore, it will also ship with XFS.
While it will be possible (I guess), to partition and format with EXT4, a lot of people will go the default route and use xfs. What is the position of DirectAdmin and would a file system such as XFS be supported or would it be too many hassles?
I guess it’s the right time to discuss this as it will, sooner or later, be a concern for all of us, who will receive CentOS 7 requests and who wants to offer this option to early adopters.
