I think which fs is best for you will depend enormously on the intended use of the machines and your own expectations. A mail and dns server that I operate running ext3 has been very happy since conversion, and has definitely benefitted. I feel I get the benefit of no more fscks and fast operations on "-o sync"-mounted filesystems without (IMO) exposing the box to immature code that you might see in less conservative "experimental" filesystem options. I personally feel more comfortable with the stability and robustness criteria of the ext3 developers than some others. If you want a very fast filesystem or one that handles very large numbers of files very well, your choice may well be different from mine. I quite like my filesystems to be boring. :) Sean On Wed, Oct 03, 2001 at 10:33:17AM -0400, Dave Cinege wrote: > On Wednesday 03 October 2001 8:00, sebastien.cabaniols wrote: > > Hello lkml, > > > > With the availability of XFS,JFS,ext3 and ReiserFS I am a > > little > > lost and I don't know which one I should use for entreprise > > class > > servers. > > I use Reiserfs on everything now, including a 13 drive Fiber Channel > SAN with 3 hosts and multiple levels of Software RAID between them. > > It is as fast as ext2, and in some case much faster.
