I've been running performance comparisons between ext3, XFS, and ReiserFS. My numbers are showing that XFS is coming out on top out of all three. Civileme originally touted XFS as his favorite. I find that I agree with him. One thing that pushed me in the direction of XFS was the possible need for terabyte sized database files. XFS allows file sizes of this magnitude, and this is also very handy for multimedia work, such as working with DVD and sound stuff. I originally was going with ext3 because of it's reliability; however now, since I have run XFS for nearly 8 months now, across three Mandrake distro versions, I've decided to switch exclusively to XFS. The reasons for this include it's stability and virtual absence of problems here, even when run under the beta releases. I'm not saying that there won't be any problems for anybody, but what I do believe is that because of Mandrake's perseverance in supplying and maintaining the XFS stuff in regard to the kernel that just about all of the problems have pretty much been worked out. Anyway, the bottom line is that I find it faster and more responsive, and the boot times, load times (application and service) that I have checked show XFS to be ahead of both Reiser and ext3. I wish Civileme was here, he could certainly offer more commentary on XFS.
