Hi All,
Maybe it's not the first time someone asked about which FS is the best for server, but I really like to have an overview which one is better for server and for desktop. Is it reiserfs, ext3 or xfs ? Does it matter what FS I should install for server or for desktop ?
Am I the only person using XFS?
I'd like to reply to Arie's request, but I don't really have anything to compare it with. On those rare times (I could count them on one hand with fingers to spare) that my system has crashed or lost power in the past year, XFS has taken it totally in stride with very quick reboots and no sign of system damage.

I do a lot with XFS. 2 years ago, I totally agreed with SUSE calling it experimental. It had several serious bugs. Now I pretty much trust it. With large files (like ISOs), it is much faster than ext3. Maybe 30%. In a true enterprise environment with hardware snapshots, etc. I definately think it is a strong contender. ie. You need pre-shapshot freeze functionality from the command-line to do this. I don't know if the other Linux filesystems have those types of enterprise features or not. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
