Greg, What are your NSHO ( ;-) ) about JFS? I'm also looking at implementing a high performing FS on a client machine that shovels loads of files, both small and big, and I do *NOT* want XFS on that machine. Personally I prefer XFS myself, but then I do have redundancy all the way on my systems...
Why *DON'T* you want XFS on that machine?
Perhaps they had a problem a couple of years ago. Once bitten, twice shy. I have been xfs for a few years both on a desktop and a laptop and have -not- had any problems.
I chose it with 9.0 and stuck with it since, on 9.1, 9.3 and 10.0. Power failures are a few-times-per-year event around here (plus the occasional screw-up by me) and I've never had any file system corruption or data loss issues when it's occurred. Am I just lucky, or is the risk overstated? Anyway, I'm moving soon and when I find a new place, I'm going to make sure there's enough office / machine space and I'll be putting in a UPS.
