As most of you probably know, it is much, much easier to repair a file
system error with other file systems, ext4, for example. It is very time
consuming to repair an error on an xfs file system.
What would be the disadvantage to mounting / on an ext4 fs rather than xfs ?
What changes would be needed elsewhere to acomodate this ?
You're using the Server image right? It's the only one of the images
that use xfs and it uses that because that's the defaults for the
Server WG, you could use a minimal image which uses ext4 and still
achieve what you're after.
