For Ubuntu, I use reiserfs. It was recomended to me by the developer of
the Brazilian distro Kurumin, and well, it works. I figure that if it can take
my noob abuse, it´s a good file system.
On the other hand, with Debian Etch, I decided to experiment a little:
Jfs for my root partition, and Xfs for my home partition. I work with video
editing, so I was curious about Xfs, and I wanted to see if Jfs´ lower CPU
usage could impact system performance. The result? Performance, as
might be expected, doesn´t measurably change, but everything feels
snappier and more responsive.
But then again, Debian Sarge/Etch always outperformed
Breezy/Dapper, at least on my machine.
