Hi List, I recently pre-ordered a copy of SuSE 8.2 Professional CD/DVD set from the suse web site. I read the specs on SuSE 8.2 off the web site and saw that SuSE now lets you chose another filesystem type; called XFS. I currently use Red Hat 7.3 at home and use ext2 for /boot partition and ext3 for /, /usr, /home partitions on my first hard drive (hda). I know the main difference between ext2 and ext3 is that ext3 has journaling capability while ext2 does not. Red Hat doesn't give you a choice at installation using its anaconda program of formating a drive with anything other then ext2, ext3 or swap. When recompiling the 2.4.x kernel I noticed that there is a option to load the reiserfs driver into the kernel at boot time. 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? There are quite a few from what I gather like ext2, ext3, JFS, XFS, Reiser FS. I just use the pc at home as a workstation, not a server.
