Hi all -- thought I would add my 12 cents on this subject, but you
should also consider SGI's XFS which has a linux port. XFS is probably
more stable than ext3fs since it has been around much longer, provides
greater performance than ReiserFS across a wide range of workloads, and is
journaled to boot. In fact, it was the first journaled filesystem
available for Linux. Goto oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs --
Enjoy,
Chris
