I took your advice, and used XFS on a 18TB filesystem (hardware raid 10) that I plan on using for backup storage. I've been busy as of late at work so I haven't put this box into production yet. I have noticed that there seems to be an awful lot of disk activity while the box just sits there idling. Is this normal for XFS? The box is Centos 6.4 minimal install. Just curious if this is normal before I go poking around looking for answers. Thanks!
