Summerised versions  (and tabulated  comparisons) of  ALL file
systems are available here. For specific details, click on the
links for specific file systems.

Systemnews ? That is paid-up stuff. Just US$ 1 per week !

On a lighter  note, I like the phrase "makes  sys admin's life
easier". After two decades of  observations, and some of first
hand experience, I have come to the following conclusions:

a) A  sys-admin's work  is days  of inactivity  with hours  of
   sheer panic ! Just wait for  the root kit to be discovered,
   or  some ssh  intrusion ...  till then  it is  business (as
   usual). 

b) Nothing can stretch a sysadmin, barring Windows !!!

c) Sys-admins need more work (than coffee and sympathy).
