I actually wonder what you guys do use. I'm guessing 75% of us use ext2/ext3. Let's get a quick poll going here. :)

I use ext3 on my two boxes with dir_index turned on for all partitions, and some have noatime in the mount options. /boot is the exception, which is ext2. Finally, I don't have a tmpfs for /tmp on either box, due to the fact that I tend to stick large stuff there and I'd rather not swap on a regular basis.

I do the same: ext2 boot, ext3 for the rest. dir_index and noatime are both on. I do actually use tmpfs though. I used to use reiser as my main partition, with ext2 on /boot, but I switched at one point... I think actually for dual booting, because there were windows extensions that could read ext but not reiser. /me shrugs

I have ext3 for all partitions on three machines (even for /boot), all with dir_index. I have noatime active on most of them, and user_xattr,acl on some as well. I used to have a tmpfs for /tmp, but I think I dumped it completely.

ext3 on everything (yes, and /boot) ...with dir_index, full journaling (journal_data), and noatime.

I use ext3 on encrypted "/" using default attributes: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file I also use ext3 on "/boot" and "/tmp", because tmpfs crashed (although size limited to half of memory) my box under high memory consumption. ext3 is the most commonly used filesystem on Linux on thus well tested in many not so common configurations (like DRBD).

We use xfs on our new fileservers. Testing revealed it's was the fastest under our conditions, by a significant margin. We use ext3 other places, except in scenarios where there will be lots of small files, in which case we favor reiserfs. I used to use reiserfs for almost everything, but ext3 seems essentially as good in most cases and the most reliable/stable of the bunch. There was one big xfs corruption issue about a year or so ago, which is scary, but is has been otherwise very stable. I've had some problems with reiserfs corruption, but they've been in very rare circumstances where it also wasn't clear there wasn't some bad hardware involved. - P

I'm one of the few single-partitioners these days. My laptop just has a / and it's ext3. I haven't had a /boot partition since I used old versions of lilo! At one point or another I've tried jfs and reiser but both of them corrupted as badly as ext3 and were harder to fix. Jason
