    Your fave file system?

    I'd like to know what your favourite file system is. I've been using ext3 for a few years now, and as I'm thinking about using Debian as a secondary OS I'd like to know what you like and why. I feel like a change ...

    Geeky? Nerdy? No - just practical.

    PS: Not every file system is on here. No Irix or Minix... Just the ones I'm interested in, so please add your own stuff to this thread. Thanx

    What about XFS? Just because SGI is now a penny stock is no reason to discriminate
    There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

    I use XFS, and have never had those lengthy recoveries like with ext3 after a crash.
