Zem Frim-Bott is cool enough to have people show up to his/her party!
what file system(s) do you prefer?

just a quick poll because i'm curious - what file system (or systems) do you use, and why?

i'm currently using ext3 on / and /home; i'm considering switching to a soup of xfs (/, /home) and reiserfs (/var) when i migrate to arch.

and yes, i am bored.

24 views and one vote. I don't have a preference, its all just theory to me. In practice, I doubt I would notice a difference since I'm not running a specialized environment.

Well I am two of those views now, but really it comes down to what I am doing. As a general purpose system ext3(And most likely ext4) will be my FS of choice. But for specialized things I may look at XFS or even other FSs.

I typically leave it at whatever the default is for the distro I'm using, thus I currently use EXT3 (debian and ubuntu), but I used to use ReiserFS when I ran Slackware. Honestly, can't tell a bit of difference.
