Am using a combo of EXT3, JFS, and REISERFS on one server for about a year with extremely pleasing results.
Many files are MP3 on networks over SAMBA.

Thanks for the tip. Good to know given I am usnig gentoo.
At the moment I have gone with ReiserFS, but i'm not at a point where I cannot backout and change my mind.
BTW, if anybody knows, is the NTFS linux driver very slow ? It is taking hours and hours to copy about 50GB of data. I knew it would take a while, but this is ridiculous.

I read about JFS when SCO was claiming ownership of it. If I was going to go to all the trouble of stealing it from SCO I thought I may as well have a look at it. =)
I have stuck with it after some initial playing around, and it's been
really reliable. Mainly, I like the fact that it hasn't eaten any of my
files (big or small).
On that note, I remember having a number of fairly major problems with it earlier this year when I was running Gentoo on my desktop. Basically Gentoo would crash and burn quite badly on bootup if you hadn't powered down properly, and most of the time it would take a bit of the data on the disk with it.
So a warning to anyone who wants to use JFS on Gentoo - it might be more trouble than it's worth. (But they may have fixed the problems since I used it).
