JFS is low-latency, low-power, and all-around performer. As such, it
suits a mobile platform with 5400RPM disks.
Oops, forgot to continue:
For speedier and larger disks, ext3/4. Both XFS and ReiserFS have their
cons. Google and you'll land upon a pretty old review, but JFS and EXT3
come up ahead of the others.
A few years ago I had trouble in booting a Linux box that did not have
Ext2 or Ext3 for the file system. True, I wasn't using a specific
/boot partition, just a / partition.
Can you now boot with a / partition in something other than Ext2 or
Ext3? Or is the approach to use a /boot partition in Ext2 or Ext3,
and then use whatever file system you want for / and the rest of the
partitions?
Best,
Stephen.
