863 Several filesystems are available. Some of them are found stable on the arm
864 architecture, others aren't. ext2 and ext3 are found to be stable. JFS and
865 ReiserFS may work but need more testing. If you're really adventurous you can
866 try the unsupported filesystems.

871 stable on the HPPA architecture. The others are very experimental.

880 Several filesystems are available for use on the PowerPC architecture including

885 Several filesystems are available. ext2, ext3 and ReiserFS support is built in
886 the Installation CD kernels. JFS and XFS support is available through kernel
887 modules.

893 Alternate filesystems may not function correctly.

905 <b>vfat</b> is the MS-DOS filesystem, updated to allow long filenames. It is
906 also the only filesystem type that the EFI firmware on ia64 systems
907 understands. The boot partition on ia64 systems should always be vfat, but for
908 your data partitions you should use one of the other filesystems listed below.

912 <b>ext2</b> is the tried and true Linux filesystem but doesn't have metadata
913 journaling, which means that routine ext2 filesystem checks at startup time can
914 be quite time-consuming. There is now quite a selection of newer-generation
915 journaled filesystems that can be checked for consistency very quickly and are
916 thus generally preferred over their non-journaled counterparts. Journaled
917 filesystems prevent long delays when you boot your system and your filesystem
918 happens to be in an inconsistent state.

922 <b>ext3</b> is the journaled version of the ext2 filesystem, providing metadata
923 journaling for fast recovery in addition to other enhanced journaling modes like
924 full data and ordered data journaling. It uses an HTree index that enables high
925 performance in almost all situations. In short, ext3 is a very good and reliable
926 filesystem. Ext3 is the recommended all-purpose all-platform filesystem.
