1 Thanks for replies. As I had expected, they brought even more
2 uncertainty then I had before... :-)

4 ext3/4:
5 I excluded them because as I understand, they do not support
6 snapshots (only with lvm, which I do not use, and I've hreard
7 snapshots in lvm are not very effective, or something like that).
8 Next minus-point, I tried resizing of ext3/lvm once in the past
9 and remember it was a real pain in a**...
10
11 reiserfs/reiser4:
12 Future of these fs seems to be somehow vague, at least to me.
13 And I do not know if it can handle snaphosts and resizing.
14
15 xfs & power-off:
16 I have always thought, journaling is there to prevent data
17 loss during unexpected power-off. And now I read I could
18 loose data even with journaled fs...?
19
20 jfs & power-off:
21 the same. How is it possible, I could loose data with such
22 a mature journaled filesystem during power-off?
23
24 btrfs:
25 never heard of it. Is it stable enough to be used? I just
26 checkt man-page of "mount", and it does not show btrfs
27 as supported filesystem...
