Dave, What about performance as it applies to large file support for databases? I'm running SuSE 7.3 2.4.18 kernel (Mantel) and want to build a database box with possibly MySQL and/or PostgreSQL. I've read that performance tends to be somewhat behind with JFS however with XFS I would have to compile my own kernel and I would prefer to stay with distro kernel. Any thoughts?
