There are so many file systems that Linux can support now that I'm not certain what ones should be used for certain features. If anyone knows of a comparison list between them, somthing to give a pro/con method of deciding the best sort of configuration It would be greatly appreciated."

  1. reiser fs by n3m6 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i heard that reiser fs handles small sized files better than all the other current fs's .. small in size and large in number i mean.. good for webservers. where u get hundreds of under under 5k files ..

  2. it doesn't matter by metalhed77 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    if it's a small server (i'm assuming under 5000 page views a day) It won't matter what you go with unless your running off a 486. I'd say just go with one that journals for crash recovery, but if it's a small server you won't notice much of a speed difference
