Large Scale file systems with XFS

Date: Friday, June 3rd
Time: 11:00am
Location: Room 502

One of the constants in computing is that storage sizes increase at a dramatic rate. While XFS is the oldest file system in active use on Linux it's also the only one designed with large scale file systems in mind, although that definition has certainly changed in the last 15 years. This presentation is split equally between a status update on the latest XFS improvements helping with scalability and performance, and hands-on tuning for large scale file systems
