I run ext3 on most of my partitions, but ext2 on /boot and my database stuff (that does its own logging). Since I run only Red Hat, I normally use whatever they supply. Since 2000, I believe, they supply ext3 by default (others are available). Before that, maybe it was ext2 -- I do not remember. But whatever they supply, I used. But that is only one data point. When they come up with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, I suppose the default will be ext4. -- .~.

Furthermore the market share of the reiser file system dropped dramatically when openSUSE dropped reiserfs as a standard option for installation. Usage will have declined even further when the commercial company offering support for reiserfs, Namesys, was liquidated. > Are there at least any rough guidelines depending on the distribution? Have you tried doing a web search?

I use whatever Debian makes default. IIRC EXT3. Frigging with file systems is the least of my concerns. I have other more urgent performance issues to address. ;-) |
