Hi Brent, Thanks for the reply. I have to make a decision yes, it is not an easy one either, I read have so many different reports, opinions that I now feel my brain has become rather scrambled.. Wondering now if I should just have smaller filesystems and stick with EXT3.. I have never used XFS and have therefore no experience with it and this I guess leaves me short of confidence.
