Assuming you speak about linux servers: |
| 2 |
Ext3 is not the bleeding edge in speed when handling a lot of small |
| 3 |
files (rather take xfs here) but fast for normal data structures, is |
| 4 |
rock solid and it's journaling feature works great. I never had any |
| 5 |
file system crash for years now, even when cold-hearted unplugging power |
| 6 |
cords from test servers. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Moreover, the successor Ext4 shall overcome the mentioned speed issue |
| 9 |
and has some more new features. Ext3 partitions can be used with Ext4 |
| 10 |
software. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
NTFS enjoys full read and write access from linux systems via ntfs-3g. |
| 13 |
Nevertheless, I would recommend using a native linux file system which |
| 14 |
is fully integrated (for example "acl" and "xattr" capabilities which |
| 15 |
are implemented in a completely different way in NTFS) |
