Which FS do you use presently? I have used JFS once and didn't find it so tempting to stick forever. Apart from JFS, ext3 and reiserfs are the two others which I have used. Reiserfs: Extremely fast, the fastest I have ever seen, just that there are lots of criticisms about its data corruption. It is said that once the filesystem becomes corrupt and internal tree is unstable, then trying to improve it ever damages it furthur. Well, I havn't come across such a situation. Reiserfs also faces some criticism that due to some delayed write phenomenon, data corruption occours. i don't know much about the exact technical terminology relating to it. As of now, I wont shift to any other filesystem. I could never have thought that deleting a file of size 650MB can take only 2-3 secs. When it comes to data corruption, I never faced it till now. It happened only once, that too in JFS ( whole filesystem became unusable, probably due to my mistake ) -- Manish Sinha Blog [ http://blog.manishsinha.net/ ] Tech Blog [ http://manishtech.wordpress.com/ ] Twitter [ http://twitter.com/ManishSinha ] -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
