Best file system for corruption protection?
Hello LQ members
I am having a load of problems with ext2 because i've had a lot of power outages and it got corrupted in a weird way and now i can't compile because after a while it finds an unattached inode or something and reboots corrupting the partition ever more. The only thing i can do is switch to another file system that doesn't get corrupted as easily as ext2. What's the best filesystem i can use to protect my data in such a case ? Thanks in advance Steven |
I use Reiser and have had corrupted data once from a hard shutdown but I was able to repair it. But many people have told me they've never had any file corruption with ext 3.

Damn, i could have put ext3 when i installed Mandy but i didn't :mad: . I read somewhere that ext2 is the best filesystem for linux and a mixture of forgetting to read the date of article and having almost 0 linux knowledge back then made me chose ext2 over ext3 :(.
I'm planning to make reiser4 partitions. Are you talking about reiser4 or something below? Because it's a whole new story. The problem is i can't compile the libs for reiser and i'll have to set up linux just to be able to compile and then create the reiser4 partitions :(. Steven |
on linux i always keep a ext2 filesystem for boot partition.
For anything else reisefs, xfs or jfs. |
