[TriLUG] Linux Filesystems Comparison

[Shane O'Donnell]

Some casual secondary research seems to indicate that of the more common 
Linux journaling filesystems:

- XFS is incrementally faster than ext3
- ext3 is notably faster than Reiser

Does anyone on list have any practical experience with either benchmarking 
them (and if so, what was your application to benchmark them?) or have any 
hands-on commentary about any stability differences or other potential 
drawbacks of using XFS over ext3?

I've got no experience with XFS, but in my estimation, if it works, it 
should be pretty transparent. In my estimation, if you notice your 
filesystem, something's amiss...

Feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance --
