Hi Alex,
I use JFS, and have been quite satisfied with its performance, and
reliability.
~ On the subject of dead file systems, if they're going to remove
JFS from the
kernel because IBM is no longer supporting it, then they'd better
also remove
the reiserfs, as well. It is also totally unmaintained. [Google
'reiserfs' or
'hans reiser' - without the quotes, and you'll see why it is
unlikely that it
will be supported again - his site is down, as well].
Anyhow, JFS hasn't given me any problems, and at one time I used it
for
everything except for my /boot partition.
Regards,
Chris
I have to agree - I've been using a combo of reiser and jfs for the
past 5 years as different parts of production systems, and I find both
to be fairly reliable, and much less annoying to use than ext{2,3}.
Unfortunately I'm not sure where to go from here on out for the
future, as JFS *does* seem to be on a dead-end path, and reiser4 isnt
even close to being standard (then again, even finding a JFS supported
live cd can sometimes be a hassle). I have a severe dislike for ext,
though I haven't looked much at 4. Anyone have suggestions? ZFS
looks interesting, but I've heard mixed things of it in practice.
