which is faster ? ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs

hi ya

for the long weekend ... i spent about 8hrs playing..

here's the fun freebie script to test which filesystem is faster
	- format the disk(partitions) once
	- do 3 passes copying 2.3GB of files from /dev/hda to /dev/hdc

	http://www.linux-sec.net/FS/Scripts/

	( tweek as needed or cleanse it before running and formatting 
	( your target or wrong disk

- cloning a disk from /dev/hda to /dev/hdc is easy to understand
  how fast or slow each target filesystem is
	- bonnie++ numbers drives me nuts as to how fast the
	disk/filesystem should be 
	( thanx though, russell, for the common bonnie++ benchmarks )

guess i'll post the results of the output logs later ( tommorrow )

c ya
