Hmm, this article suggests that XFS is the best thing since sliced bread . . . especially for files greater than 500MB. Not sure I've got many of these.

Has anyone got a particularly good experience with XFS vs e.g. Reiserfs? What about JFS?

I have used xfs on 2 Gentoo servers for the last year of so - several power outages, no problems:

$ df -m

/dev/md/5                19537      5710     13828  30% /usr
/dev/md/6                19537      5852     13686  30% /home
/dev/md/7               104841     41208     63634  40% /data0


Previous to that I used xfs on Mandake... before 'seeing the light' and moving to Gentoo... :-) .

Conversly my experience with reiserfs has been consistent data corruption... so I avoid using it (mind you it's probably fine *now*, this was a few years ago).

Cheers
