“With the 2.4 release of Linux come a host of new filesystem
possibilities, including ReiserFS, XFS, GFS and others. Sure, these
filesystems sound cool, but what exactly can they do, what are they
good at and exactly how do you go about safely using them in a
Linux production environment? In the advanced filesystem
implementor’s guide, Daniel Robbins answers these questions by
showing you how to set up these new advanced filesystems under
Linux 2.4. Along the way, he shares valuable practical
implementation advice, performance information and important
technical notes so that your new filesystem experience is as
pleasant as possible. In this, the first article in the series, he
explains the benefits of journalling and ReiserFS.”
