I'd tread on XFS land cautious - while I always favored XFS over Reiser (had way to many issues in its stable releases after my fancy) it has some drawbacks. First, you cannot shrink it. LVM becomes kinda pointless. But especially with NFS I ran into trouble myself. Copying large amount of data sometimes stalls and eventually has locked the machine. Plus, recently I had some weird filesystem corruption like /root getting lost or similar. Running 2.6.14.1 and NFS3. If performance is not top priority, stick to ext3 and create 2 partitions or volume groups. My 0.02$ Dex P.S.: How about JFS..? Don't know if it can resize or how stable it is, but I can't remember hearing more or less ups or downs than about any other journaling fs. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
