I know.. This has been chewed in articles over and over.. But what are your personal, subjective, feelings about file systems?
I want to run something that is fast for use as a system partition, pretty "tolerant" to crashes from disasters like power outages etc.
The system partition will reside on a Adaptec RAID-5.
I'm currently looking at ext3, ReiserFS and XFS. ReiserFS has always served me good, but as you all know, support and development is going downhill. Ext3 hasn't made itself famous for being fast, and XFS is still a "gray matter" in my world..
I use JFS, but whether it is more resilient wrt crashes, I don't know.

I've never tried JFS at all, but I'm running XFS on one of my own servers.. Seems like it's really fast and stable, but after a system hang, or power loss, it seems to take twice the time as a slightly bigger ReiserFS to recover during boot.. Maybe it's doing a better job in the journal? :-) Will take a look at JFS as well! I guess it's like XFS, it cannot be resized, only ext2/3 and ReiserFS allows that if I'm not mistaken? And Joop: If the file structure becomes trashed from a crash, no RAID in the world will help that out.. ;-) The RAID only covers you from hardware failures, not a trashed or messed up file system.
