Re: XFS, EXT3 or some other?
This is the second fs thread lately, but all add my thoughts here, too. 8)
reiserfs:
I've used for years and only had one minor problem (fsck thought
there was a hash problem when there wasn't). I've used it on x86, amd64,
sparc64, alpha, and ppc32.
+ dynamic inodes
+ has data=ordered
+ supports write barriers
+ much faster than ext3
- slower than xfs and jfs in some cases
ext3:
I've used on x86, amd64, sparc64, and ppc32. No problems, but reiserfs was
stable before ext3 was!
+ compatability
+ has data=ordered
+ write barriers
+ data=journalled (rarely useful, tho)
- slow!
- fixed inode tables (tho, that makes fsck more reliable)
jfs:
I've only tried on x86.
+ dynamic inodes
+ nointegrity option speeds up restoring from backup
+ lower cpu usage
- high latency than xfs
- doesn't support write barriers
- no order constraints
xfs:
Only tried on x86.
+ dynamic inodes
+ delayed allocation
+ write barriers
+ lower latency than jfs
- no order constraints
- high cpu usage
