Use JFS, unless your database server is going to have many many (on the order of 10K) small tables use Reiser.
JFS hands down is faster for various mixed environments of reading / writing / random access etc. -- DVP -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kasak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 2:21 PM To: Don Dachner; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: XFS or ReiserFS?

My Linux books says XFS is the leader in supporting Access Control Lists...is that a consideration for a MySQL server? Thanks, Don I've always 'felt' ( ie haven't benchmarked, but this has just been my impression ) that ReiserFS was faster than XFS. And no, Access Control Lists is not important for a MySQL server. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au
