Description Andrew Dahms 2016-09-30 03:44:14 UTC 
A note on the benefit of using XFS as the file system in a Satellite 6 environment must be added to the "Storage Recommendations" section of 
"2.1. Storage Requirements and Recommendations" in the Installation Guide.

See the following comments from the Satellite 6 mailing list for the details -

Sean O'Keeffe -

"I would recommend XFS for el6 & el7, XFS doesn't have an inode limit like EXT4 you can also increase the number of inodes on XFS using xfs_grow. As Satellite uses a lot of symlinks it's likely that you'll run out of inodes if using ext4 and the default number of inodes."
