Conventional Wisdom Watch (with apologies to Newsweek)
Rebuild kernel <> Good: Old 8K stack option restores stability to
multiple filesystem layers. Bad: You'd
better know how to manually roll your own
kernel or at the least edit and rebuild
source RPMs.
ReiserFS V Many people swear by it, but many others
swear at it, especially when dealing with
gigabyte-sized files of the kind MythTV
produces. Why take the chance?
XFS ^ Balanced read/write performance. But
is it true that the kernel maintainers
dislike it?
JFS ^ Back by full faith and credit of one of the
largest IT companies on Earth. Writes not quite
as good as reads, though.
Ext3 <> Reliable, rock-solid, battle-proven, and no
hours-lonk fsck. But slow, slow, slow, slow.
LVM2 ^ Flexibility makes extending or modifying
partitions easy. But be prepared for the
performance hit.
