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? -- Regards, Bryan Simmons =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On Integrity: "I'm going to be as good as they let me and as mean as they make me, and they all know that.
