https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-Linux-filesystem-and-fs-options-are-people-using-for-Splunk/m-p/191533#M38114 <P>Good morning. I am wondering what filesystem and fs options people are using for spunk indexers? I am running it on CentOS and have chosen xfs for my 4TB filesystems. We expect to have a lot of indexes, so I was wondering what recommendation people may have on this. I cannot imagine that the default fs setup is the best option, but maybe. </P> <P>Any feedback is much appreciated.</P> Mon, 24 Aug 2015 12:24:02 GMT brent_weaver 2015-08-24T12:24:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-Linux-filesystem-and-fs-options-are-people-using-for-Splunk/m-p/191533#M38114 <P>Good morning.

I personally haven't witnessed a huge efficiency gain of one over the other.</P> Mon, 24 Aug 2015 16:03:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-Linux-filesystem-and-fs-options-are-people-using-for-Splunk/m-p/191534#M38115 tskinnerivsec 2015-08-24T16:03:08Z
