The thing is, I do not see a lot of stuff going on with JFS on LKML. reiser v3 bugs pop up now and then, XFS had spats going on and ext3 is rather lack luster and still gets reports now and then. Upstream going with ext3 is rather expected since Redhat is the backer of ext3 just as Suse is behind reiser v3.
Okay, so Feizhou is of the glass-is-half-empty school of filesystems. :)
Joshua says he has been using XFS for years. Can anyone else share anecdotes regarding XFS? Anyone else happy with it?
Is your process even disk throughput bound? If not, you may be agonizing over a decision that needn't even be taken if the "tried and true" and default supported file system (ext3) is "fast enough" to avoid becoming a bottleneck.
That's where I find myself so I've taken the easy way out, for now, and have stuck with the standard file system.
