I like the robustness of ext3. It's a nice middle of the road filesystem for most uses. I also like it's more advanced features like in place upgrade, ACLs, filesystem attributes, and resize (grow _and_ shrink). A quick google will reveal some of the advantages of XFS. My one recommendation would be to steer clear of ReiserFS. It's been abandoned by its creator. Last I heard, there's only a couple of developers left at Novell working on it and they plan on switching to ext for SLES 11. Don't know if ext3 or if ext4 will be ready by then. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
