Hi, there is no 'best' fs.
Except for boot. Boot should always be ext2. Everything else is just overkill. ext3 is nice for backward compatibility. reiserfs is nice, if you have lots and lots of small files (like me), because it saves a lot of space. xfs is nice, if you deal with big files regularly, but it does not like sudden poweroffs, and had the habit of overwriting damaged files witzh zeros - a 'security' feature. So /etv/passwd or similar sensitive files do not show up somewhere, where they don't belong. I don't know, if it still does this, but some people lost precious data that way. jfs... well, there is nothing special about jfs. I just don't know anybody who uses it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
