Hi,

I was testing different filesystems, and ran into problems with most of
them:

on 2.4.7:

- ReiserFS worked fine and fast, but an NFS-client (NFS3 or NFS2) gave me
stale NFS handles.
- JFS worked correctly, also with NFS, but is terribly slow.
- Ext2 was fast and worked with NFS, but it is not jounaling!

I applied SGI's XFS-patch from http://oss.sgi.com to the 2.4.16 Kernel
tree, and tested the following:

- four dasds were formatted with blocksize of 256
- XFS works fine and very fast on a single dasd
- I ran into problems with XFS on a logical volume on all four devices
(kernel-hang)

Did anyone have any experiences with XFS (or Ext3) on S/390-Linux? Any
patches that work?

Mit freundlichen Gr��en,

           Frank Warzecha
