Re: [expert] ReiserFS , JFS or XFS

[Karl Mitchell]

I use both, and both have been reliable since Mandrake 9.0 in my 
experience. XFS seems to be faster for large files, and so I use it at 
work. I use ReiserFS at home, as it seems to be better for fast small 
file access. However, the difference isn't huge. Some colleagues seems 
to have found that XFS is better for samba/windows interoperability, but 
I have no great experience with this. Apparently these advantages will 
be more evidence when samba 3.0 becomes more commonplace.

Whatever the case, journaling filesystems such as XFS, and similar 
systems such as ReiserFS (which I have been told is not, technically, a 
true journaling system) are infinitely preferable to ext2 in terms of 
speed and reliability (especially due to crashes).

I really had my own problems with ext3 and lots of files and directories
(MP3) it's really slow.

Have all the problems ReiserFS had with NFS been fixed?  The last time
       

I
 

looked, which was a while ago, there were still threads on the
       

ReiserFS
 

mailing list about problems with using an NFS server on a Reiser file
system (despite many protestations by Herr Reiser on their web site
       

that
 

all NFS problems had been resolved!).
       

What problems? I must have missed that one - been using NFS and Reiser
     

here 
 

under 9.0 and 9.1 with no problems that I'm aware of.
     

Remember when that 3GB of pr0n disappeared? That was because of Reiser.

No that was marriage.  Not Reiser. Hans had nothing to do with it it.
*grin*.  I've lost a ton of data under ext3 but not a shred under Reiser
or XFS.
