Re: XFS on x86_64 Linux Question

Had a quick question, if I re-provision a host with an Intel Core Duo
CPU with x86_64 Linux; I create a software raid array and use the XFS
filesystem-- all in 64bit space...

If I boot a recovery image such as Knoppix, it will not be able to
work on the filesystem correct?  I would need a 64bit live CD?

There used to be a XFS bug that 32bit journals couldn't 
be replayed on 64bit and vice versa. This means you couldn't mount
a dirty file system on the other architecture. But this bug has been 
long fixed and mounting clean file systems always worked.
