I know this could very well result in outright religious conflict, but I was wondering what people had to say about filesystems. I've been a long-time user of Reiserfs, but with Hans gone its future seems very much in jeopardy. I also hear of problems with storing reiserfs images on a reiserfs partition, which it seems will confuse the filesystem and thoroughly bork its structure. The question is, what would I replace it with? Many seem quite pleased with the performance of XFS, but it seems it has a healthy share of critics who claim it to be easily corruptible. Indeed, the delayed allocation feature seems to cause problems by not correctly following the Single UNIX Spec. There are bugs that look fairly nasty, like this one: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7258 Then what are the other options? I suppose JFS is a candidate, but I know almost nothing about it, in particular how actively it is developed and what future it may have. Ext3 may be the best-supported of any filesystem, but it's just so slow, and ext4 is still a ways off. Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with any of these? Is there something I'm missing here? The two use cases I'm dealing with is on laptops with dm-crypt+LVM and on servers with dm-raid+LVM. Any advice would be appreciated. Attachment:
