Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: bed30b2732c7eac3063d9e86e018e128 Hi, I'm looking for "the best" filesystem for a small multi-purpose server with a couple of services running (ftp, web, mail, mysql). For me very important features are: snapshot (will be used for backup, must be native without lvm) journaling resizeable (if possible online) After a little research I have found two candidates: JFS (created by IBM) XFS (created by SGI) Now without trying to start flame-war, my question is: which of them could be better for my need? More stable, more reliable, more efficient, etc. Or should I consider some different filesystem?
