So does anyone on this list have experience using the other file system types that SuSE offers out of the box? And if so, can you please elaborate which is the "best" to use?
Decide for youself after reading this series of articles on journaling FS for Linux: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs.html with links at the bottom to the other parts. The link to part 7 on ext3 is located at: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs7/ Basically, it boils down to: (1) Speed and saving of disk space when you have lots of small files: ReiserFS (2) Data integrity and compatibility with existing tools designed for ext2 : ext3 (3) Video streaming server and systems with very large files: XFS. I myself use ext3 for all partitions.
