Hey all,
I'm planning an install/migration of 12.2 on OEL7, no ASM. So, should I
use XFS or Ext4? Underlying storage will be flash-based traditional
SAN.
MOS 236826.1 says to use "any filesystem that is supported by the Linux
vendor". MOS 1632127.1 says "Beginning with Oracle Linux 7, XFS is the
default file system and is included with Basic and Premier Support
subscriptions, at no additional charge."
I've had my OEM 13c server using XFS for 18 months without a hiccup, but
the repo DB is about 30x smaller than our ERP DB, with way fewer
transactions, etc.
Anyone have any experiences with XFS or Ext4 on OEL7 that would make
them choose one over the other?
Thanks,
Rich
