Right now, you have four filesystem options: XFS, ext2, ext3 (journaling) and ReiserFS. ext2 is the tried and true Linux filesystem but doesn't have metadata journaling. ext3 is the new version of ext2 with both metadata journaling and ordered data writes, effectively providing data journaling as well. ReiserFS is a B*-tree based filesystem that has very good small file performance, and greatly outperforms both ext2 and ext3 when dealing with small files (files less than 4k), often by a factor of 10x-15x. ReiserFS also scales extremely well and has metadata journaling. As of kernel 2.4.18+, ReiserFS is finally rock-solid and highly recommended. XFS is a filesystem with metadata journaling that is fully supported under Linux's xfs-sources kernel, but be warned that it is highly unstable at this time. If you're looking for the most standard filesystem, use ext2. If you're looking for the most rugged journalled filesystem, use ext3. If you're looking for a high-performance filesystem with journaling support, use ReiserFS; both ext3 and ReiserFS are mature and refined. Please be careful with XFS; this filesystem has a tendency to fry lots of data if the system crashes or you lose power. ...... -------------------------------------------------- -- MX JID: mx@ns.nxg.pvrr.mps ICQ: 1002 ( icq.pvrr.mps ) mailto:mx@nxg.pvrr.mps ( intranet only)
