Dumb question: Mandrake 10 file system?

[ND4SPDR]

Before I screw around with Partition Magic, does Mandrake 10 use EXT2 or EXT3? Thanks.

[kkubasik]

either one, or xfs or reiserfs. for a primary filesystem (if those are te honly 2 choices) i would recommend ext3

Why don't you use the partitoning program which comes with Mandrake?

Partiton Magic sucks (in this case; not a good thing).

if you have to oportunity to choose between etx2,ext3 and reises choose reiser fs..it's the best of the three..

[kkubasik]

don't say that, 'best' is always relative, if you run a server that will have high thoroughput and will be on a upc, xfs is better, ext3 is a very generic journaled system.
