Recent benchmarks put the different fs' down to some characteristics, I dug them up for you : http://fsbench.netnation.com/ comment by Jeremy (kerneltrap.org editor) In Mike's summary he labels JFS and XFS as 'best bang for your buck' explaining, "While not the fastest file systems, both of them consistently perform close to EXT2, while using minimal CPU. XFS seems to be faster over a wider range of benchmarks, however it does use slightly more CPU than JFS. While JFS really starts to slow down with lots of files." -- personally I use ext2 for a lot of my systems. its hands down the fastest one, and for partitions where I shove lots of data and wipe again I don't feel that I need more than that. /var/tmp /usr/portage /usr/portage/distfiles /tmp .. all those on ext2 .. "so what if the data goes boom? " //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature! See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end
