However, it has already (as I understand) proven useful to some advanced users with very particular requirements.
It has a number of advanced features/benifits, but perhaps the most mentioned is journaling. There are several other advanced/journaling file systems for linux under development. These would include XFS, JFS, ext3, and maybe others that I have not heard of. At present, the most widely used file system for linux is ext2, aka e2fs. That is probably what your are/should be using. Mike
