Journaling File Systems...

[Bryan Simmons <bsimmo1@gl.umbc.edu>]

When I first installed Linux in 1998, I don't remember there being any
other file system to use other than Ext2.  After 2000, I went a few
years without Linux.  This time around, when installing Linux, I noticed
I could use anything from Ext3 to ReiserFS to JFS etc... I steered clear
of these and chose Ext2 because it was all that I knew.  Now, after
reading an article on journaling file-systems in Linux Magazine, I am
convinced I need to use this technology on my next system (which should
arrive Friday).

Here's my question:  what would you guys suggest as a good file system
for a client?  I use my system for programming, multimedia (home movies,
mp3s, pics, etc...).  So far, it seems good to go with Reiser.  JFS and
XFS seem like overkill for a client and Ext3 is not efficient enough.

What are your opinions?
