Whoa, hold on. My original post was this: QUOTE: Generally XFS and JFS are considered superior to ext2/3. ext3, in my experience, isn't much slower than ext2. Plus the decreased time required to bring up a server after a power outage is worth something too. Having used ext3 quite a bit, I'd say it's fairly stable and reliable, but I have seen references here to know, possibly unfixable bugs. I've used XFS a few years back, and there was no great gain for what we were doing at the time, as we were CPU, not I/O bound. ENDQUOTE: So where do you get off saying I'm such a big fan of XFS and am trashing ext3. You do the research, I'm tired of trying to have a civilized conversation with you. If you wanna argue, go pay someone a quarter to do it, I'm done. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
