Hi,
I've been using sgi's xfs for a while now and have had no problems
whatsoever. I have it installed on my system at home, a friends box running
oracle, and a system at school that gets beat a bit. Its been terrific for
power outages. ;) I have yet to try out reiser, but I hear its pretty good.
With xfs, there is no patching required, you just pull down the source tree
via cvs and recompile. Depending on the distribution you use, you might
need to do some upgrading. XFS is based off the 2.4 kernel and there are no
ports to the 2.2.x series. I think resiser works with both kernels. I know
IBM's jfs is moving along quite well also. And if you use ext3, you can
easily convert an existing ext2 partition. With xfs and resiser, you would
need to do a backup, recreate the partition, and dump the data back. Just a
few thoughts...
