Read it, and I would use it if it supported resizing filesystems, which I
do a LOT. The benchmarks provided at namesys are also pretty cool, but
I'd have liked to see benmarks against JFS and XFS, instead of just
reiserfs{,-notail} and ext?.
Filesystem: | Journaling? | Resizable? | >* ext3? | Fully-Atomic?
------------+-------------+------------+----------+--------------
ext2 | No. | Offline. | Yes. | No.
ext3 | Yes. | Offline. | No. | No.
xfs | Yes. | Online. | Yes. | No.
jfs | Yes. | Online. | Yes. | No.
reiserfs | Yes. | Either. | Yes. | No.
reiserfs4 | Yes. | Someday. | OMG Yes. | Yes.
