Re: Recomended FS

You'd be well served if you could benchmark several filesystems and see
which one gives the best "performance" (talk about a loaded term) for your
application. Having said that, however, I'd recommend XFS for its
combination of performance and userspace tools (particularly xfsdump and
xfs_freeze).

Cheers,
Murthy
