Guys, I'm preparing to building several multi terabyte file systems using XFS. On the order of 5-10 terabytes. I've done a bit of searching on the web to find out what is the customary way to check xfs file systems. with the other file systems, you would get a forced fsck ever N number of mounts thus repairing any "gunk" in the file system. With XFS, no fsck is performed. fsck.xfs will return passed and not execute. Thus one needs to run xfs_repair every now and then I suppose. So my question is what is the customary frequency one runs xfs_repair on their xfs file systems. Every 6 months? Do it via a cron job every week making sure you can dismount the file system first and then remount it when done? It's been beaten into me over the years I've managed linux/unix systems that fscks must be done with some kind of periodicity otherwise suffer from file corruption due to bit decay I suppose. Thanks in advance. Cheers. Steve.
