my machine is used as a experimental and working machine. The most important thing is that this machine has to startup in anyway. This is why ext2 filesystem is used as the boot-system parbreastion. To prevent extensive filesystem checks it has then changed to ext3. So it is possible to let the machine crash without crashing the filesystem in a way that lets me wait for an hour on bootup. The home parbreastion with the 380GB disk space is nearly full. XFS is a new filesystem type i use to test the stability. If it crashes this will only be a ,,natural'' way to clean up the home directory structure. All really important data are on backups. If I can not realize problems with xfs in the near future I may change the configuration. But for now I think it is better to stay on the old but extremly stable ext2-ext3 filesystem.
By the way, my working machine at home consists of two RAID5 arrays 6 Disks each. 6x18GB for the system parbreastion and 6x73GB for the home parbreastion. 4GB RAM and four 700MHz Pentium III Xeons may produce a lot of load on the system.
