XFS or JFS?
I need some clarification here. Which one is easier to recover from, XFS or JFS?
I'm rebuilding my mythtv box, the filesystem is going to be used for my recorded TV partition. Ext3 is out, last time I used ext3 it was unable to handle the large files well. So I just want people's opinion on the two. I've read various things from Googling, but I'm still not sure of the benefit of one over the other. |
If you're dealing with large files, go with XFS from what I've experienced with it. Recovering from either can probably go both ways, just depends on your expertise and knowledge.

Both are just as easy to recover from and both are very high performance. I would recommend that if you use XFS, make sure to look into the options, there some options which are not safe, such as caching to RAM. I use JFS, mostly because it has lower CPU usage and slightly better performance than XFS.

Ext3 wasn't the only bottleneck, but switching to XFS helped. |

I dunno, look at some benchmarks:
http://linuxgazette.net/122/piszcz.html new one: http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/old/?...em=fs_contest2 (btrfs looks promising, but is not ready for production use) Also, don't listen to people saying to use ext2 or ext3 for this. They are inadequate for such a task, it even says so in the mythtv wiki. |
