i wont to make a small reserch about filesystems.
after installing debian in the first time and having the crash of my life
the all system was frozen.
i wont to figure out about filesystems .
i instaled it with reiserfs which i know its not stable.
please share your experience about file systems for linux.
I have EXT3 home partitions and I use reiserfs for my /. I read that reiserfs was fast with lots of small files and since a lot of stuff is small I used it. I've never had any trouble with either filesystem and I never thought any of them were slow.
Reiserfs isn't stable, that's true. Ext3 is much more stable, but it's very slow and supports only files that are < 2 Gb. My choice is XFS - no 2 GB files limit, very fast and stable.
XFS is a SGI file system.
It's very fast and stable, though may consume a little bit more resources. A very important feature of it is that maximal file size is about 9 exabytes. With ext3 it's 2 GB, so forget about bigger movies and DVD isos.
@darkleaf: there's another thread in this forum where the starter of this one said something about ext3 being very slow. I thought you read that since you said none of them seems slow to you.
Nevermind, maybe it's a coincidence.

Coincedence cause the thread poster asked about speed as well
