Hello me lovely drones.
My last question regarding what kernel version to use was so enlightening (I thank everyone who replied), so educational that I've decided to ask another question.
I'm currently using JFS. It's fast, reliable and easy to repair. On the rare occasion (once in 20 years) were I wasn't able to fix the fs (after a hard drive death rattle), I was able to mount it as a RO fs and recover the data with a simple copy and paste (later rsync and luckbackup).
However jfs has it's limits for example it can't be resized, something I needed to a do a few times. Which meant backing up the drive, reformatting and restoring said backups.
So...
July's question... What's your fav FS and why?
I thank everyone in advance and look forward to assimilating your brainz (ooh a SciFi / Zombie mix there).

I relly love ZFS. Problem is, Linux does not have root-on-zfs out of the box, so servers run FreeBSD+ZFS. Clients are still on EXT4 (although Ihave tried movieng that a couple of time) bit I do not prtiularly like LVM to work around intrinsic problems of some other filesytems. BTRFS is something I always tried to use, but somehow ... well, no usecase, I guess.
