Soliciting Opinions Regarding File Systems

[Nilesh Bansal]

So what is the problem with ext3 (except for the limitation on largest
possible filesystem size). I mean, will I have a difference in read or
write speed/performance of the two filesystems?

thanks

I can *not* get her to log off every night, and so she'll have many windows up with OO, kmail, and konqueror, and when it does freeze, the *only* way out is the hardware reset switch. She's lost almost nothing, and all the windows come back up, all documents are recovered, etc.
