Due to the nature of LDM and the creation of many small data files and (caches),
Reiser FS would seem to be the best choice from what I've read...

-ymmv, depending on the size of your data files.
I've used Reiser v3 on my cluster for over a year now, with no major problems.

Be sure to use to reiser utils for all disk operations:
$ man -k reiser
mkreiserfs (8) - create a Linux Reiserfs file system
reiserfsck (8) - check a Linux Reiserfs file system
resize_reiserfs (8) - Reiserfs filesystem resizer

Anyone got words of wisdom on the best filesystem to use with a *large*

I've a new system in testing with 2 terabytes of harddrive for data.
It's been seeing some journal corruptions using ext3 recently and I have
made a change (took the product queue off the RAID) to see if that'll help.
Going to SCSI RAID would be nice, but cost prohibitive at this time...
Thanks, Gerry
