I know that XFS gets all the press about being a great performing file system ... but if you want the best stability on CentOS, you should at least consider ext3 instead.

I have worked very hard to get stable code for xfs in centos-4 and centos-5, and lots of people use it, but (IMHO) ext3 is still much more stable with the CentOS Kernels.

That is my $0.02 ... I'm sure other people will tell you I am all hosed up :D

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

EXT3 performance is lacking in many areas and its support for larger file systems is still a problem. However, it is rock solid and hopefully EXT4 will address the performance and file system limit issues.
