I found this benchmark/comparison of the different Journalling FS interesting:
  http://linuxgazette.net/102/piszcz.html

I've been an Ext3 supporter for quite a while, but now I'm tempted to try 
something else. ^_^

What do others think of the validity and conclusions of these tests? Seems 
decent to me, although I think the "Find Files" and "Find Dirs" tests would 
be skewed by Linux's disk cache...

It seems JFS, XFS, & Reiser are all fairly similar, and better than Ext3. 
Anyone have any personal recommendations? What about other features, like 
stability, recoverability, undeleting deleted files, etc?
