Hi, we have CentOS ftp server (vsftpd) which has a lot of users who are writing and reading a lot of small files from/into its own accounts (and other servers - using samba client - are reading these files and putting them into outside database). Since this server is under heavy load its availability is important. >From time to time we "crash" this server (don't ask why ...) but then fsck is running for over 20-30 minuts. The question is: is there any other _stable_ filesystem (xfs ?, jfs ?) which we can use instead of ext3 which is (quite) immune to crashes and whose fsck is "faster" (by design) then in ext3 ?
