thank you very much. what do you think abou jfs?? is it comparable with others??
I was very pro-JFS... until I lost 10gig of very important data, and back then (2002) there was no way to recover a JFS volume (the data was in RAID, but some corruption ocurred and I lost the whole drive, I mean, I ended up with a blank root).
Back in 2004 I asked one of the IBMers at the JFS team about it and he had this to say:
----- "IBM will continue to invest in jfs as long as we feel that our customers get value from it."
Q: Will JFS be enhanced eventually with features from ReiserFS 4? (can it be done without a complete rewrite?).
"Possibly some. Samba has been asking for streams support for a while, and if reiser4 leads the way in an implementation that does not break unix file semantics, jfs (and possibly other file systems) may follow."

Dunno if IBM did much to JFS after that... haven´t been following their work wrt JFS...
