1 Hi,
2
3 I'm looking for "the best" filesystem for a small multi-purpose
4 server with a couple of services running (ftp, web, mail, mysql).
5 For me very important features are:
6
7 snapshot (will be used for backup, must be native without lvm)
8 journaling
9 resizeable (if possible online)
10
11 After a little research I have found two candidates:
12 JFS (created by IBM)
13 XFS (created by SGI)
14
15 Now without trying to start flame-war, my question is:
16 which of them could be better for my need?
17 More stable, more reliable, more efficient, etc.
18 Or should I consider some different filesystem?
