* reiserfs - it's a mostly-journalling file system, and should be quite stable (can't quite bring myself to use it on my own systems. Some on debian-user have used with with good success, however). * ext3 - full journalling extensions onto ext2. It's been used to good effect on some high-volume sites (www.rpmfind.net for one). Sadly, the patches for 2.2.16 are RedHat- specific :(. The patches for 2.2.17preXX should be more generic. I have the archive if you want it. * jfs - The journaling file system from IBM's AIX. The patches are still very much alpha - don't even think about it if you're not running Linux on i386. It reportedly works well, though. * xfs - The journaling file system from SGI's Irix. Haven't heard how well it works. Note that out of all of these, only reiserfs has been ported to the 2.4.0-testX series. Even so, it's nice to have choices, isn't it :) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
