I found the reference/comments about ext3 and Reiserfs, both used as 'defaults' in openSuse, interesting to say the least.
Yep. I can understand the problem with fast deletion, but not that you can get corruption in reiserfs due to the large files used. Weird claim, I'd wish they'd explain it in detail.
Because I am installing (ie, trying to) on a 'test' computer, I have formatted the HDs with XFS and installed v10.3 on this 'test' system. (v10.3 with all the apps. I installed is running VERY well on XFS.)
I'd personally install the system on ext3 or reiserfs, and a large data partition using xfs. Xfs has known problems if installed as the main partition: for instance, during the 10.3 beta or rc phase it produced a corrupted filesystem because the halt sequence halted before all processes were stopped or killed and thus the fs was not cleanly umounted. That's not a big deal in itself: both reiserfs and ext3 did recover fine on next boot; but xfs failed reconstruction and the whole install failed. There was a bugzilla about this and a thread in the factory list. So I do avoid having xfs as root filesystem, but I do use it for data. Much safer.
BTW, JFS is NOT available in v10.3.
I'm not surprised. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
