I'd recommend XFS. All the Workstations I manage run it without a hitch. Very fast, stable, and xfsdump works. ;) I've also used the features such as growfs to get more room (it works while the FS is mounted).When I first installed Linux in 1998, I don't remember there being any other file system to use other than Ext2. After 2000, I went a few years without Linux. This time around, when installing Linux, I noticed I could use anything from Ext3 to ReiserFS to JFS etc... I steered clear of these and chose Ext2 because it was all that I knew. Now, after reading an article on journaling file-systems in Linux Magazine, I am convinced I need to use this technology on my next system (which should arrive Friday).Here's my question: what would you guys suggest as a good file system for a client? I use my system for programming, multimedia (home movies, mp3s, pics, etc...). So far, it seems good to go with Reiser. JFS and XFS seem like overkill for a client and Ext3 is not efficient enough. What are your opinions?
If your using NFS stay away from Reiser. I hear reports all the time that "nfs+reiser is now fixed" but everytime I give it another go it screws up bad....
