Which Linux filesystem should be used?

- ext2 doesn’t have a journal 

- ext3 is so "default". AND it gets b0rken just as well; on my home fileserver there were errors and fsck.ext3 exited with a SIGSEGV. Yikes. Upgrading to the 1.39-1.40 release from Sarge backports made that go away, luckily, but it’s still icky that it just broke like that and kept on humming along at the same time.

- XFS turned out to be really, really slow with many small files.

- ReiserFS only gave me corruption, headache and a murderer as an author ;)

- ZFS? Quoting Andrew Morton, "I haven’t seen a patch for that yet, but it’s very welcome!" 

What to do, what to do…
