Hi Gerry, et al.:
Any sense as to whether ext4 is improved enough to warrant its use in
lieu of a non-journaling fs such as ext2?
Also, what particular problems are of concern with XFS?

I have not, but with the amount of disk we run, we've gone far away
from ext3. We have XFS for our NFS partitions, and ext4 for our
Gluster. There are a whole lot of problems associated with ext3, in
cluding but not limited to how long it takes to do one of its periodic
checks when you've exceed the time limit or reboot count.

Has anyone tried mounting ext3 with the data=writeback option (with
the risk that active data files could be corrupt after a crash)? I'm
wondering how close performance would come to ext2...

The choices for files of this size are ext2 if you don't care about
journaling, or XFS. XFS has its own share of problems but does work
very well.

It blows chunks compared to ext2. You loose journaling but I don't
care. I don't have long term storage.

need to really consider long and hard
Jeff,
If your disk RPM isn't at least 7200, your I/O is going to be bad
with Level2/3 feeds.
