As others have said, it really depends on what you want. |

e.g. For a file server you likely want XFS. |

Most servers probably still run ext3, the reason for this being that |

it's very well understood and any tool for dealing with file systems |
| 11 |
works well with it. Generally, the only reason to move away from ext3 |
| 12 |
is if you have some kind of performance parameters where you need to |
| 13 |
take advantage of the characteristics of one of the other filesystems. |
