CentOS 7.x xfs vs ext4 filesystem
We should avoid using XFS for normal desktops which might not get clean shutdown. This is because xfs does not repairs itself on reboot. This creates issue for non-technical users who need to go to maintenance shell and run xfs_repair. Prefer use of ext4 on all non-server hardware.
