I would like to see some real metrics on: ext2 ext3 JFS XFS ReiserFS In the cases of all the journaling file systems, the big gain is when rebooting after an improper shutdown. I personally use Reiserfs and have had no problems with it except when I had a bad memory chip in one of the laptops. I had to do the reiserfsck from a rescue disk, but it worked fine. The main tradeoff is run-time performance, but for the most part that is a good tradeoff unless your system needs all the I/O performance it can get. In my specific case I have a couple of filesystems I keep unmounted except when I do nightly backups. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
