Thread: Which single is the better file system for linux.

Can anybody suggest me the right file machine for my Linux? I had listenabout the ext2 and ext3, but I don’t have any more data aboutneither of them. But when I was about to set up the Linux it wasprompting for the formation of windows via any of file system. Thus Iam bewildered which single is good to format with? Do it reflect anyalters while runniing? Which one shall I good?

You are right, there are more file system in running machine, they areutilize to really organized the hard repel.Ext2 is an identicalformer Linux file system. It is yet been utilize by flash repel,since the main cause behind it is, It doesn't write to the repel thatoften, and flash repel can be written to only a fixed number of timesearlier wearing out. But other than that it was substitute by ext3. Iwould like to suggest you can do it by xt3, its better.

The main cause of being substitute by the ext2 is Journaling. Journalingfile systems keep a record, or journal, if few aletrs is happened tothe major file machine. With this, the most significantcharacteristic is like if the file system wrackes, it is much simpleto restore the information within a operating condition withmaintaining the consistency of information. EXT4 is also better as itprovides quicker access, and support almost 1 EB (exabyte) and up to16 TB (terabyte)-sized files.

Thenewest member in the EXT file machine family is Ext4, which became anidentical administrative component of Linux, when they developed theLinux 2.6.28 kernel. It changes quicker disk functioning andestablishment of file management than organizing its predecessors.Well it also adds journaling as EXT2 has, but with a good choice ofgiven on and off facility in it. we can turn that off for a modestspeed boost.

I would suggest you that you can also refer to JFS, it is also better.High functioning and scalability makes it more productive. It has aPOSIX extensive access control mechanism. But as you had observed youare not aware really at that time I strongly trust that you have togo with any Ext edition, otherwise NSS was best, as its file sharingcharacteristic enhance it lead to achieving maximum scalability.
