I second XFS for your application. Another to consider might be JFS. Either one of those would be very mature and suitable for the enterprise. I don't have any real experience with JFS, but I used XFS for many years starting in 2002 or 2003. These days the sorts of applications I work with don't really call for delving deeply enough to warrant worrying about the filesystem, but it sounds like something that merits evaluation in your case. In one of the early applications that I dealt with we had very large files (on the order of 10s to 100s of GB, which was rather large in those days. On ext3, a file removal could take many minutes. The performance for ext2 was a bit better, but of course you take on added risk with a non-journaled filesystem. XFS, on the otherhand, could delete a multi-100 GB file just quickly as it could delete a 1 KB file. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
