What about JFS or Ext4?
On October 5th, 2009 Gary says:
The discussion is interesting, but why leave out JFS. Backblaze is using it for their Debian-based online backup. Redhat doesn't support it, but Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS do. And Ext4 is about to become the default filesystem for Ubuntu. Can you comment on those file systems? Maybe you've been over all this before.
