Hi,
I'm looking for "the best" filesystem for a small multi-purpose
server with a couple of services running (ftp, web, mail, mysql).
For me very important features are:
snapshot (will be used for backup, must be native without lvm)
journaling
resizeable (if possible online)
After a little research I have found two candidates:
JFS (created by IBM)
XFS (created by SGI)
Now without trying to start flame-war, my question is:
which of them could be better for my need?
More stable, more reliable, more efficient, etc.
Or should I consider some different filesystem?

If you use XFS, make sure you have a UPS to prevent hard power offs. I
used XFS a good while back, every time the power would fail, it was
toast. I never did get it to rescue itself and ended up re-installing
the OS. It may have changed but that was my experience with XFS. It
was fast and nice but it likes normal shutdowns.
