As others have said, unless I have a specific reason to choose something else, I always use EXT3 for read-write file systems, and EXT2 for read-only ones. Early on, reiserfs had some problems with big-endian systems, although those have been fixed now. I generally prefer EXT3 because it gives me the option of mounting a file system as either EXT2 or EXT3, as needed. For RHEL users, EXT3 is your only option for a journaling file system.

Hi Listserv, Just trying to gauge which is the more popular filesystem type to use for logical volumes, reiserfs or ext3 and why. Seems like reiserfs will allow resizing through the YaST GUI, whilst ext3 filesystems forces CLI interaction.
