It is :-)

I can see the hard disks grinding when I trigger a backup - a day and a
half. Not of news, but everything.


Once I tested several filesystems types by creating a million small
files in a single directory. Only two passed: reiserfs brilliantly, and
xfs (I think this got full at 800000 or so). btrfs crashed itself and
crashed the machine, and before that it got veeeery slow.
