I had to compile my own 2.4.10 kernel to get XFS support under SuSE 7.3. Does the 2.4.16 SuSE kernel support XFS?
I believe not. XFS is a big, intrusive patch. I don't think SuSE are using it for production kernels at the moment.
I would recommened ext3 as a journalling fs. It might not be as fast as reiserfs or xfs (though I haven't seen any real speeddifference between any of the 3 ) but it is (In my experience) much more reliable. Reiserfs is very good, very fast with small files, but has the occasional oops (esp. in combination with NFS or tar) that crashes the system (hard) and/or buggers up the filesystem completely. StarOffice (5.2) install always kernel paniced on one of my boxes on the reiserfs , but not on an identical box (also with reiser) I still run it on my home box (which isn't networked) with no complaints. I haven;t played around with XFS much (and certainly not with any of the latest versions) but found it too unwieldy and not stable enough for my tastes.
