Hi,

Currently, I have a 70 GB partition formatted as ext3.  It's a bit slow when
deleting big files so I want to reformat it.  But what's the best choice?
XFS is good, but what's the file system check speed?  Running fsck on my ext3
file system takes forever...

I have heard of problems with XFS with any power outages, bad
shutdowns, etc.  I use JFS and have found it very fast (excellent
large file deletes).  I'm curious to other people's opinion of it,
doesn't seem to get as much mention here as XFS or Reiser.

I have trouble with JFS on my recording partition any time the computer is rebooted uncleanly.  I have lots of problems with the kids hitting the reset button because they think it's fun! :-)  When the system comes back up, my JFS partitions don't mount.  I have to manually run jfs_fsck on them and then mount them manually or reboot.  If I do a clean shutdown it's fine. I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem?  I'm running Fedora Core 3.

The biggest issue with this is it happening when I don't know about it, and a scheduled recording starts.  It records to the root patition since my video partition isn't mounted, and runs out of space real fast and then crashes the OS!!

Anyway, just wanted to put in my experience with JFS.  Other than that it seems very good and very fast on deletes to me as well.
