I've been using Reiserfs; other people report good success with XFS. Might be informative for someone with copious spare time to benchmark a backuppc_nightly run on each filesystem. I think Reiserfs is superior to ext3 for this application; partly because it handles lots of small files well, also because you don't have to worry about running out of inodes before you run out of disk space. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
