i use reiserfs since 7.2. and change to xfs since 8.1. if ext3,reiserfs,xfs are all stable, than i think most people would choose xfs since it is the most feature rich file system.. (sorry,i know little about jfs) xfs is not very good with 8.1, and i m very happy it is stable now with 8.2. but i m sad that mandrake people think few people using xfs. if mdk think few people using xfs, there will be less effort put on it. so no mkbootdisk, no rescue cd. i hate being along. i want to use a popular filesystem. i hope xfs is a popular filesystem at least on mdk :)
