My basic knowledge on this topic is this:
ext2 - non journaling
ext3 - journaling filesystem/ backward compatable with ext2
reiserfs - journaling filesystem/ one of the newest and fastest
xfs - journaling filesystem/ from SGI IRIX, advanced built in quota support
jfs - journaling filesystem/ from IBM AIX

Thanks to the recent discussion on Gentoo - I'm now looking at building a
Gentoo based web/email server, with Samba. I started reading through the
install guide last night, and it mentions that you need to setup a file
system, but leaves the type of file system optional. One of the recent
posts suggests the ReiserFS is good when many small files are used. Other
than that, I don't know much about the differences in the file systems. Is
there a decent site out there that discusses the pros and cons of each? If
not, would someone knowlegable on the topic be willing to offer some
comments?
Thanks in advance.
