I never had any file system crash for years now, even when cold-hearted unplugging power cords from test servers. Moreover, the successor Ext4 shall overcome the mentioned speed issue and has some more new features. Ext3 partitions can be used with Ext4 software. NTFS enjoys full read and write access from linux systems via ntfs-3g. Nevertheless, I would recommend using a native linux file system which is fully integrated (for example "acl" and "xattr" capabilities which are implemented in a completely different way in NTFS) Gunnar Tomasz Lutelmowski wrote: > NTFS is the best one but unfortunately not fully supported by linux :/ > > On Mon, 19 May 2008 08:11:17 +0530, widyachacra wrote >> what is the best filesystem for a server >> >> -- >> --- >> PS: This is my private email address. >> >> Budu saranay!
