I should say that it is the need that fuels a shift, if the need is that important ! Consider the scenario where you require faster I/O operations for a mail server (testing not production), you may want to shift to a JFS. It is better to shift to a JFS from which you can back off. The move to the ext3 standard is good because Rajesh Fowkar has written a neat HOWTO to do this under the Debian GNU OS. Arguments in favor of tools to recover from a particular JFS disaster are not so important because we have shifted to a JFS for the very security that it provides. If your favourite JFS cannot provide that, junk it in its entirety :) My choice would be ext3 but definitely ReiserFS will mature out better than the JFS from M/S Tweedie & Morton..... Take your pick and Happy Hacking. PS. Listers, please understand that the usage of the GNU tool-chain is more important and do not mistakenly think that the OS is Linux. Better call the OS as GNU, it is really good if you call it GNU/Linux; if the kernel you are using is Linux. -- ragOO, VU2RGU<->http://gnuhead.dyndns.org/<->GPG: 1024D/F1624A6E Helping to keep the Air-Waves FREE Amateur Radio Helping to keep your Software FREE the GNU Project Helping to keep the W W W FREE Debian GNU/${kernel} _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
