Re: [opensuse] Crash "tolerant" file system?

The system partition will reside on a Adaptec RAID-5.

I'm currently looking at ext3, ReiserFS and XFS. ReiserFS has always served
me good, but as you all know, support and development is going downhill.
Ext3 hasn't made itself famous for being fast, and XFS is still a "gray
matter" in my world..

Hi Anders,

I have no experience with XFS, but have used both ReiserFS and ext3. Currently
I am using only ext3. This has more to do with worries about the future
development of ReiserFS. I have experienced plenty of crashes and freezes
recently on a system, due to failing hardware.
Each time, ext3 recovered both quickly and gracefully after a reboot.

Combined with RAID-5, I don't think you'll have many problems with ext3.

But, as they say, YMMV :-)

HTH,

Joop
