svnberkeley-dbfsfs

Which subversion file system to use on CentOS5?


I can either use Berkeley DB or FSFS, which one should I use? I'll also be using the repositries on my windows XP machine with TortoiseSVN


Solution

  • FSFS is the "new better" file system for SVN. DBD was the original file system, but FSFS was devloped for a reason and is now the default file system for SVN.

    FSFS is more stable, more backup friendly and has been around for a while to be considered stable and mature.
