There is a ton of information about JFS and XFS on the net. All you
need to do is check the Wikipedia filesystem comparison page or Google
search for filesystem comparisons. The short of it is:

ext3 - good general purpose FS (not the best performance, but stable)
xfs - excellent performance with huge files and huge filesystems
jfs - similar to XFS but I think it has better performance when under
heavy I/O load

Could you define 'huge files' and 'huge filesystems'? Can you give me some numbers?


At work we deal with files of size 1 GB to 100 GB on a regular basis. I
would classify those as large. XFS supports files up to a size of 8
exabytes and filesystems also of size 8 exabytes. I am not sure of the
limitations on JFS.
