Hi all,
every once in a while someone with a corrupted repo pops up on this list. Sometimes it is because he used hg on a filesystem which has issues.
Searching the bugtracker, wiki and mailing list didn't reveal that much about filesystems which should be avoided, though. Maybe I just didn't use the right keywords, but everything I found was
"There are known problems with XFS on Linux, but that's about it."
Which ones cause problems?
In this case I'd like to know about window's NTFS network shares (I don't have more details yet, though), but I think a list in the wiki is needed anyway...
Best regards,
Jens
PS: that reminded me of something similar: it seems that the inotify extension is not without problems, but there's no word about it on its wiki page.
