We're setting up a new mailserver with a Gigabyte i-ram drive to handle the
qmail queue, and qmail logs. The i-ram drive uses standard DDR modules, has
a battery backup and is lightning fast - much faster than solid state
drives. We'll use SATA RAID for the maildirs and remainder of the server.
I'd like to get some input on the best filesystem for the i-ram drive. EXT3
is out because writes are slowed to the speed of a hard drive. I'm leaning
towards reiserfs or xfs. However, I've read (wikipedia) that reiserfs is
easily corrupted. xfs seems the best.
Anyone have any comments of suggestions.
