Thanks for the excellent education Aragorn. I kind of got the two mixed up. I meant a regular partition disk instead of an LVM divided one. But this does explain a lot, thanks buddy. -- ~Ohmster | ohmster59 /a/t/ gmail dot com Put "messageforohmster" in message body (That is Message Body, not Subject!) to pass my spam filter.

What do you like Aho? Depends on what I do with the machine, unstable or machines where I may need to shrink the file system, reiserfs else jfs. -- //Aho

Well, that's in the eye of the beholder, Dan. ;-) > What more would you want from your file system? More performance and reliability, perhaps? ;-) Multiple B-plus trees, for instance? ;-) > Please don't even mention the word "reiser"... /reiserfs/ (v3.6) is quite good and it's faster than /ext3/ but it lacks a decent toolchain. XFS on the other hand is just as reliable as /ext2/ or /ext3/ - if not more reliable, given that it's been the default filesystem in IRIX since 1996 - but is a B+ tree filesystem with extremely high performance, a complete toolchain (unlike reiserfs) and a rather secure filesystem too, since it zeroes out damaged blocks. It also allows for online snapshotting. It's acknowledged as an industry standard filesystem. It's all a matter of taste, really, and of the intended purpose and deployment of the machine. /ext3/ is a decent filesystem for most usages, but certainly not "the best" or "the best performing". /ext4/ promises to be faster, but I'm not too familiar with all of its properties yet. Another interesting project, albeit not quite stable yet, is the new Btrfs (pronounced as "butter filesystem"), which has been submitted to the Linux kernel by Oracle. It's still heavily in beta stage but it's already included in the upstream sources from Linus & friends. It more or less offers all the goodies that Sun's ZFS offers, i.e. an integrated filesystem _and_ logical volume manager. It's an interesting project, albeit not ready for prime time yet. -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)
