1. Re: Recomended FS

   You'd be well served if you could benchmark several filesystems and see
   which one gives the best "performance" (talk about a loaded term) for your
   application. Having said that, however, I'd recommend XFS for its
   combination of performance and userspace tools (particularly xfsdump and
   xfs_freeze).
   
   Cheers,

   This site:
   
   http://fsbench.netnation.com/
   
   has some decent generic file system benchmarks that may help with your
   decision.
