PS: I installed on jfs, but if I am not satisfied with it (but
unlikely), I will try xfs next. Since I am using Gentoo and generic
2.6.16.16 kernel with grub, booting filesystem isn't a factor. Reading
the last sentence, ext3 also sounds good, but it's slow and I have
failed in file recovery some times with ext3....it may be personal
preference.
