Well, try "yum install" with the "xfs" string and various wildcards and you'll figure it out quickly. > Under centos-4.5 I chose xfs for performance reasons.

There are so many different scenarios and in most cases it's impossible to tell whether any given FS will perform better than another. XFS will likely perform better than other FS when you're dealing with large files, such as HD authoring and stuff like that. Even then, if you want to be sure, it's probably best to do some benchmarks. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
