I find it interesting that you find my choice "curious", given that you avoid the two oldest and most mature *nix journaling filesystems available, XFS and JFS. And XFS has more tools and instrumentation available on Linux than any filesystem. Maybe this difference of opinion is application specific. I only use Linux for servers, not desktops. XFS/JFS weren't designed with the desktop/laptop in mind, but high performance servers. These filesystems may not be a good fit for desktop/laptop use. I've never attempted it and have no experience with it, so I have no opinion. However, for server use, they can't be beat. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
