I've used ext2/3 for the most part, and I've never had any big problems, but I'm always open to new stuff.
I tried JFS for a couple of months, but one big problem I ran into with my setup is that I somehow end up having to resize my partitions every two or three months, and I couldn't figure out how to shrink a JFS partition (ext2/3 resize very easily). I also had the minor but irritating problem that even though it's a journaled filesystem, it won't mount after an unclean shutdown without a fsck. I've always had negative feelings towards Reiser FS, and I'm not sure whether it's just misguided prejudice or if it's really justified. I've heard at least a couple of horror stories, and I've gotten the feeling that stability isn't a top goal. Is it still this way, or has it never been this way, or has it improved? -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
