As you can see from the responses, this is akin to the vi-emacs controversy:
some like it some don't. My experience has been as follows:
1) I've used ext3 since it first merged into the kernel. Never a failure. I've
heard extremely few negative comments about ext3. There was one bad kernel
release a long time back with a fatal ext3 bug, but fortunately I missed it.
2) Re both resierfs and xfs, I've seen about equal numbers of responses on any
number of mailing lists:
"pick-a-fs" ate my lunch, hard drive, and system.
"pick-a-fs" is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
You pays you money (or time), you takes you chances.
