Hi, |

there is no 'best' fs. |

Except for boot. Boot should always be ext2. Everything else is just overkill. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
ext3 is nice for backward compatibility. |

reiserfs is nice, if you have lots and lots of small files (like me), because |
| 10 |
it saves a lot of space. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
xfs is nice, if you deal with big files regularly, but it does not like sudden |
| 13 |
poweroffs, and had the habit of overwriting damaged files witzh zeros - |
| 14 |
a 'security' feature. So /etv/passwd or similar sensitive files do not show |
| 15 |
up somewhere, where they don't belong. I don't know, if it still does this, |
| 16 |
but some people lost precious data that way. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
jfs... well, there is nothing special about jfs. I just don't know anybody who |
| 19 |
uses it. |
