ah yes, FAT, the only part of MS-DOS that was actually used instead of worked around.

the one time I used xfs, it got munged in a power outage and Red Hat/CentOS, in their infinite wisdom, decided that xfs_repair doesn't run on boot

I was pretty jazzed to try it out too :(

edit:

back on topic, why do y'all think exFAT hasn't caught on yet? I love FAT32 to pieces but the 4GB file size limit kind of cramps my style

LOL if you aren’t using an uninterruptible power supply, LOL my rear end off

for reals tho, I ran XFS on Linux for a while and never had any problems. also ran it on my SGI Octane without problems, so 🤷‍♂️
