I want to try XFS on my home system. I have read some articles saying XFS is faster than Ext3 but Less reliable than it. So, I would like to read your experiences about FSs other than Ext3.

Couple of years back I had tried JFS and had a horrid time trying to get a live CD which could mount it when it got hosed. I don't recall the specific details now. I have XFS on another partition currently, it doing quite well so far. No problems with it. But, I haven't benchmarked or conducted any kind of test on different FS's myself so can't comment anything more on them.

Thanks. :)
