<br>Ext2 and Ext3 wich is basicly is ext2 with a journal file has been around for ages and it has been the default linux filesystem.<br>Primary development of ext3 is redhat based, I dare to say that ext3 is the most stable linux filesystem today.
<br><br>The bad thing with ext3 is that it is not of a modern design as xfs and jfs, who in turn are inferior compared to zfs.<br><br>Ext3 and xfs has never let me down, I ran xfs in production prior to inclusion in the standard kernel, back then deletes where slow on xfs.
<br>ReiserFS and me has been nothing but problem, jfs I have never tried.<br><br>For myth filesystem is a non issue for me, the difference is neglible, we are doing simple stuff with low concurency.<br>Separating on different spindels are a far more giving job than switching filesystems as I see it.
<br>Xfs, jfs or ext3 just donīt do major deletes while recording on ext3, I havenīt had any stuttering problems though while deleting though.<br><br>Iīll (probaly)wait for zfs or something that brings a bit more advantages to the table before abandoning ext3.

<br>> Then I burned the images of MythDora and KnoppMyth, and both use<br>> ext3 with no choice to use JFS, or ReiserFS, or any big journeying<br>> systems, so... what's the story?<br><br>I use XFS all over the place, it rocks. I use it on many
<br>production Linux systems at work, and at home.<br><br>Basically, I use ext3 for / and XFS for everything else. I did some<br>benchmarks on small files (a Maildir that had gotten completely out of<br>hand, like 1.5G of small files) and the performance improvement over
<br>ext3 was ridiculous, like 3 minutes to untar the directory on the new<br>box whereas I hit Ctrl-C after 45 minutes on ext3.<br><br>Of course, the big advantage for MythTV is that removing a large<br>file is instant.<br>
