Hi folks... trying to pick between jfs and xfs for a filesystem. In the past we've used jfs with CentOS + centosplus, however, an older post indicated that this may not be the best choice as the version of jfs included with the centosplus kernel would only be as new as the version that was included in the 2.6.18 kernel as RH doesn't backport fixes...
It looks like xfs isn't part of the centosplus kernel, but instead is provided as a kmod -- so I'm thinking it might be the better choice based purely on the fact that it's likely to be current. Is my understanding correct there?
What would stop us from building a kmod-jfs against the latest jfs from the up-upstream kernel and not building jfs.ko in the centosplus kernel at all? It looks like jfsutils is a fairly recent version...
Thanks, Ray
