I've been running on EXT3 for now 5 years, one year on 6.1 and 6.2 on several 
servers, it's solid, no complaints.  Performance has always been enough, from 
where I'm standing you go with the most commonly used solid filesystem in 
Linux, for me that's EXT3.

Subject: Filesystem preferences for tsm 6 pools

Setting up a tsm 6.2.2 server under redhat enterprise linux 6 on the intel 
platform.

Wondering what was the group's opinion on which type of file system to use for 
storage pools?
Since raw devices are not supported, I am looking to maximize space and 
performance as much as possible.
