Centos 7 XFS and IDS 11.7
Rob Kottler asked for pros and cons of using XFS for Informix 11.70 data chunks on CentOS 7. Art Kagel quoted his IIUG presentation: XFS journals metadata only, with low overhead and good safety. Pete McDonnell asked for real-world feedback. Paul Watson said it works, is stable, and his 12.10.FC7W1 testing showed performance similar to ext2.

I am told Centos 7 uses XFS filesystem by default.I am again embroiled in discussions on XFS vs ext2 vs ext4 with and without journaling. As this is above my paygrade, can I get some further pro's and con's of using XFS for my data chunks.
From my IIUG Presentation: XFS Meta-data only journaling Write journal before data Dual entry journaling to permit recovery if the modified data is never written Low overhead Good safety Art Art S.

Can anyone provide real world feedback of Informix on XFS? Thanks!
It works, it's stable and my recent testing (12.10.FC7W1) shows it has similar performance to ext2.
