Hi, Does anyone have comments about the various filesystems typically used with large (terabyte) arrays, regarding performance and reliability? The three most common filesystems seem to be ext3, reiser and xfs. Ext3 and reiser are part of the standard linux kernel (not sure about xfs), implying that they are fairly robust. I've been using reiser and haven't had any problems, but I've heard that when the filesystem gets full there may be problems and it's also optimized for many small files instead of larger files. Ext3 sounds like it is very robust (since it is based on ext2), although I've heard the performance is worse than reiser. I've heard some good things about xfs, but have never used it. If anyone has any real-world experiences or benchmarks I would be interested.
