I switched to XFS several years ago after losing a few gigabytes of (fortunately easily replaced) data to a failure with an early version of ext3. I understand ext3 has improved since, but I never had a problem with XFS that would persuade me to move back (if I were still using either). ReiserFS remains very quick for handling large numbers of small files. If I were doing something like maildir where that particular usage pattern applies, I'd probably use Reiser. I also use Reiser on the Suse machines I administer, but that's largely because it's the default and I prefer it over ext3. These days, though, I mostly use FreeBSD, so none of that applies -- it's pretty much all UFS2, although I do want to try out the new ZFS support eventually. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
