I have read Danny Cox's email about his sound problems where he
complains about long fsck times on large filesystems. I was having
those same problems in miniature on a 4Gb drive. After switching to
SuSE 6.4, which offers the ReiserFS journaling file systems, I never
wait for fsck to run. I have only / and /boot as ext2 filesystems. All
others are ReiserFS. The check time for each filesystem is a second or
less. My experience with XFS under IRIX and ReiserFS under Linux leads
me to say go with a journaling filesystem under Linux now that they are
available. I know that the open source version of XFS is now available
for Linux so take a look at SGI's open source repository.
