I found the reference/comments about ext3 and Reiserfs, both used as
'defaults' in openSuse, interesting to say the least.
Yep. I can understand the problem with fast deletion, but not that you can
get corruption in reiserfs due to the large files used. Weird claim, I'd
wish they'd explain it in detail.
Because I am installing
(ie, trying to) on a 'test' computer, I have formatted the HDs with XFS and
installed v10.3 on this 'test' system. (v10.3 with all the apps. I installed
is running VERY well on XFS.)
I'd personally install the system on ext3 or reiserfs, and a large data
partition using xfs. Xfs has known problems if installed as the main
partition: for instance, during the 10.3 beta or rc phase it produced a
corrupted filesystem because the halt sequence halted before all processes
were stopped or killed and thus the fs was not cleanly umounted. That's
not a big deal in itself: both reiserfs and ext3 did recover fine on next
boot; but xfs failed reconstruction and the whole install failed. There
was a bugzilla about this and a thread in the factory list.
So I do avoid having xfs as root filesystem, but I do use it for data.
Much safer.
BTW, JFS is NOT available in v10.3.
I'm not surprised.
